Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis 2

This is a contents page for the Q magazines. Like the NME contents page the contents have been split into sections. There is a 'FEATURES' header. In this section it list articles which were on the front cover and other main articles within the magazine that are new in this months issue. This is a good idea as if a particular article on the front cover caught the readers eye then they could just quickly find the article they were after in this section.
Underneath this they have put in a section for monthly items that appear in the magazine such as emails and the like. Again this could appeal to readers as they wouldn't have to read through the whole of the contents to find what they are looking for.
Like the NME magazine colours which relate back to the logo have been used. The red and the white has been used which help keep a running theme which I think would be more appealing for reads because if the contents page was to use random colours which dont relate to anything then I think it would put people off reading.
Also like the NME magazine a large picture dominate the page. Like I said before this creates a focus point for readers and also relates back to the main article. Putting a picture there for one of the less inportant articles would be useless but putting one there for the main article would make people interested and in my opinion want to find out what the picture/ article is about.
