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.
