Contents Page Research 1- Q

Q magazine have used a blocky theme for this contents page. As I plan to do a mainstream magazine similar to Q, I plan to set out my contents page with a similar look. 'Issue 307' is placed in a red circle at the top in the centre underneath, this is part of Q's house style. 'CONTENTS'. A range of different camera shots have been used, such as a large close up for the artist, and a long shot for the band. The main image is on the right hand side. Q have kept the same colour scheme of red,white and black consistently through their magazine. They have used images rather than text to tell the reader what page to find the artist's article on, with the page number in the corner of the image.The page numbers are muddled about and positioned and sized based on their significance, rather than chronological order.

For my contents, I want to continue with this blocky theme and I plan to use the issue number positioned in a similar place as I want this to be part of my magazine's house style. I also want to use images to tell the reader what the article will be about with the page numbers in the corner.
