Contents page example analysis 6

Another example of a music magazine contents page is Q. Similar to NME, it has a straight-forward layout with consistant fonts throughout to make it easy to read. There is a large image of a band which takes up most of the page. They have done this to hightlight the main page inside. The text box near the bottom of the image tells us a little bit about it. The featuresand page numbers are split up and organized into sections instead of page number order to make it easy for readers to find what they are looking for, this is particularly useful for regular readers who have preferences of what they like to read. The coloured bars inbetween sections stand out against the plain background grabbing the readers attention.
 The whitespace is balanced, so the contents page doesn't look too "busy" or too wasteful.
 The page includes sufficient information to entice readers to carry on.
The Courteeners are a popular band in the alternative/indie genre. This means that the audience this magazine is directed at are rock'n'roll, indie, alternative stereotype.
