This is the contents page of Q. it is using the blocky, dual column method to display the contents. The left column is exclusively text.  It is divided into multiple sections Features, Issue specials and monthly regulars. this text is medium to small size. The small size is prominent in terms of colour as it it's text is divided by title and subtext by hue and colour. The header is in a deep black whilst less important text, descriptions, are in a grey. the use of contrast draws the reader to all the right places. readers will notice the black over the grey as its is more prominent in the eyes, this means regular readers will be able to pick out all of the headers and know where that articles they want to read are. Studies show that 50% of articles are NOT read in purchased magazines ((Source: Forbes Magazine) there is so much irony there!). this will be replicated in my magazine.

The main image is only one article. And takes up 1/3 of the page space. This seems to be a convention as many magazines do this and Q love it! They do this as it is a feature article, exclusive, what ever you want to call it. The picture is the whole description. The limited text comes in its own size of large to medium. This seems to be the most dominant article. I will be replicating this, mabye not to that scale, but we will have to wait and see!

The bottom section is where Q get original. They use this space to make a review! This is unusual because this space is a mystery to me, sometimes its a review, editors notes or even more page numbers.  When I replicate a contents page I have no idea what I will do.

Colours. This magazine uses Q's colour red and the always acceptable white and black. This surprises no one. Q is very proud and likes the idea of minimalism. This single exception is the gold but this is a typical thing to come from a magazine. This is to make it stand out. Oasis is band royalty so gold seemed suitable. However I feel like Q made a mistake. Gold on white doesn't read well, especially for colour blind, long-sighted. I will not replicate this gold and white fiasco.
