It seems like Q have a bit of a theme going.



Q have developed a idedic style of contents page. first lets look at the features section. This section looks almost identical to the previous Q mag I looked at. except on thing. The colour them of the issues exclusive. The previous mag had a gold theme for Oasis, which took to the contents page. In this section it is womans music and the gold has been replaced with a grey teal. I will be using this in y actual magazine, possibly features but i am un-decided. . However in this section the magazine, the numbers are not in a unique colour. this suggests that tho oasis issue is a specialist issue. The font size is still the same, medium header and small sub-text.

However apart form the features coloum, nothing else is different about the layout of text and images, I have notice the picture in the contents page has no gimmicks. For instance in the front page, they are being all dramatic and moody, but the contents page has photos of the band or artist just... well... there! I have noticed this. the editor must do this for the sake of people who don't know the band all to well. Because Florence in the machine is no always feeling her face and has her hair all stood up. This picture gives the honest look for the band so in my contents page I am going to make my band typical and basic, no moody gimmicks just an honest look at the band members.

Review section is a recurring factor for Q, this seems to be the most noticable thing to distinguish each magazine by contents page, Q does reviews, NME do band index's, and other magazines do other things. I have no idea what I want to do with my section honestly. I think when it comes to the time I will decide.

What do I not like?
Well... this is boring, this content page is boring. Like incredibly boring. The epitome of boring. The contents page is to formal for a music magazine! I mean comon music is supposed to not be formal. Music used to be about not conforming an what not but this magazines contents page just doesn't have enough OOMPHF! Each section is too even, to grey and too even. When I make my contents page I will make in much less political debate and more music!
