This is a very simple layout Q have used for their contents page. It is very similar to regular Q front covers as the masthead appears in the same location, the top left corner. The colours used are also the same as used on the cover. The red, white and black can signify love, passion and darkness. This can link to stereotypes of indie music. The page is split down the left with 2 images on the right and listed text on the left. Below this is a 'Oasis Special'. Gold writing has been used and I believe this signifies a bonus for readers as this kind of 'special' would not normally feature. This is why the different colour has been used. The red is used to make the white writing stand out and catch the readers eyes where it say 'features'. This section of the contents allows to readers to see what will be written about in this magazine. Below this the same colours have been used for 'Every Month'. This section is aimed at regular readers and potential customers. It gives the reader of what is featured in the magazine every month and something to look forward to. Also all the text on this page is mainly written in capitals apart from captions. This is to draw the reader toward the important information and if they are intrigued they can read the smaller captions. The Main image on the contents is of the band The Courteeners. The clothes worn and bands style is very typical of indie music and will relate the readers as they will probably also be styled this way. Below the main image is the final section of the contents, 'Q REVIEW'. This is followed by the tagline 'the world's biggest and best music guide'. This my influence potiential customers to buy the magazine. The review section also shows the reader what will be reviewed in the magazine, such as albums, dvds, etc. Overall this is a very simple and organised contents page used because of it's basic layout and colours. This type of contents page is very easy for readers to use to get what they want from the magazine.
