The main thing that stands out about this contents page is the use of images. There are 5 images within the contents page, and they are laid out professionally so that the page does not appear too crowded. I also feel this adds a very high-class characteristic to the magazine, presenting not only the product but the city of Bristol itself as high class and quality. Also, the images all appear to have a similar effect to them, with each maintaining a considerably colourful feel, drawing the attention of the audience and encouraging them to read the articles. It is also considerably useful to include a number of images so that the audience are given an insight as to what the issue includes.

The use of text is particularly dominant in the contents page due to its function of navigation around the magazine. The use of columns in the contents, makes the page clear to read and understand, ensuring the audience are able to find their way around the magazine. Having a brief explanation of each page aids the audience in knowing what each article is about. I will definitely use this feature within my magazine, as I believe it would aid my audience in navigating the contents and making choices on which articles they would like to read.

The use of colour surrounding the page is particularly vibrant, with the pink text drawing attention to the issue of the magazine. The use of gold within the text also creates a very high class and professional feel. Gold also connotes 1st place and ideas of higher class and royalty. These connotations will all reflect onto the artist and the magazines, creating this upper class feel to the magazine.

Major conventions of the contents page that are used are the header and footer information. Within the header, the audience is informed of which page they are on and within the footer, the name of the magazine and the issue are printed. I will be using this particular technique within the footer of my magazine pages, as I find it useful and informative.

Within the lower right-hand corner of the page, the magazine logo and information on the cover are available to the audience. They have also included a sell-line to the contents. They have also included the website link and their social media username. I will certainly be placing my social media and website links onto my contents page as this makes communication with my audience easily accessible.

The first thing that is noticeable about this contents page, is the image that is generally large alongside the list of articles and their pages. The image is of The Courteeners. In the image they are standing looking generally serious, on a place that it overlooking perhaps a town. This presents them in a very stern, serious and powerful way. Strength and power is a very desirable quality to have, leaving the audience to be curious as to why they are so strong, therefore encouraging them to read the article. The image is taken in a slight low angle shot, also making them seem in power, adding to the way in which they are above the city in the background. The also gives suggestions behind their music, as they may be  a band that are dominating the charts. From this, I will apply this among of thought to the image I use. I believe that if I do want to portray strength within an artist I will ensure to use a low angle shot.

Within the image, as previously mentioned, there is a pull quote within the area that gives you information on the article. This pull quote reads, '"He's just showing off" Liam Fray's mum hits nail on head.' leaving the audience questioning various things, for example, 'how is he showing off?', 'what is he showing off about?' etc. This encourages the audience to read the article to find out what they are questioning. I believe this is a brilliant technique used by Q and I would definitely consider using this within my magazine, as it is a very clever way to pull in the audience and create a sense of involvement on merely the first page.

Additionally, I especially like the way in which they have used an extremely popular band to specialize the issue to. The popularity of this band, makes them almost legendary, hence the reason the area in which they are mentioned is gold and also hence the reason they have a large area on them. I early like the use of the gold, as it gives of positive connotations, which is good for not only the band and the magazine, but the audience member who will receive these positive connotations. Gold also connotes 1st place and ideas of higher class and royalty. These  connotations will all reflect onto the artist and the magazines, creating this upper class feel to the magazine and deeming the band as music royalty. 1st place connotations also suggest that Q is the music magazine to have, in the sense that it is the best magazine, number 1, and no other magazine is above it. I love the use of gold, would seriously consider using this color and would also consider using an artist to specialize in within this issue of my magazine.

Furthermore, in the aspects of color, Q is also centralized around the color red and is highly associated with that colour, making it recognizable as part of this magazine. Red also gives out connotations of strength, power and importance. Adding to the effect of he main image on the contents page of this issue. This colour runs throughout Q magazine and is known as a house theme to them. This portrays the magazine as strong, powerful and important, in terms of the way that the artists in it are dominating the charts and all have a story behind them. Red can also connote danger, relating to the way in which this magazine is perceiving itself as number on; a danger to other magazines. I am extremely emptied to use red as a colour theme in my magazine as I really lovd the connotations it gives, and I believe if paired with monochrome colouring, could add an element of class and sophistication to my magazine.

As well as the colour, I took particle interest in the layout of this contents page whilst observing it. I really liked the way in which it was clearly set out, and more than one image was used without giving a cluttered feel. I also like how not too many images were used, and the articles and their pages were of a good size, whilst still being very clear. Above all, I like the area in the bottom left corner that reads 'Every Month', which includes a page called 'Q50', a page that informs he audience of their top 50 songs that cover their genre at the time of this issue (October 2008). I believe this is a really good idea and one that I would like to use in my own magazine. I would ale like to ensure that my contents page employs at least 2 image without causing it to look cluttered, therefore confusing.
