Inspirational contents pages

Q magazine


The contents page of Q magazine is very plain, and only includes one large image of the main feature band (probably the band which were on the front cover), with the rest of the page being filled by text. However I really like the band across the top of the page with the magazine masthead and the heading of the page, the date and the issue. Another thing which I like about this contents page is the way in which the magazine's main colour has been used. The colour red is one of the things which attracts the readers eye to Q magazine as the masthead is large and bright red, therefore the way it has been carried on as a subtle 'highlighter' colour on the contents page is very effective. It highlights the subheadings and the page number of each featured article, as well as being used to highlight certain words on the page which the magazine wants to draw the reader's eye to. The main colour of my magazine is purple, and would therefore work well in the same way as red has been used, which is something I'm considering using.
 
 


This is the contents page of NME, once again it has the bold heading over the sections of content which just shows the reader that it is well organised and structured, also this is obviously all regular and relevant content as they all come under the given titles. The colour scheme is consistent and appropriate and matches the NME logo that is the trademark of the magazine. There is a miniature article included on the contents page that will give the reader a taster for how the articles are both written and presented before even going any further into the magazine, this is a good way of filling up the page but whilst still keeping a neat appearance.
 
 
 
This contents page looks good and draws the audience in through the use of multiple small images to highlight certain stories. I like the colour scheme and hope to create a similar colour pallette myself.
