The masthead is used on

the contents page and this

reminds the reader of the

magazine that they are

reading. And continues the

theme throughout the

whole magazine.

The issue number and date is clearly

shown in the top right corner and its

white text on a black background

which makes it stand out despite the

text not being too large. The web

address is also included.

The names of

categories stand out

clearly on the

contents page

because the text is in

white on a red strip.

Red is not used much

on the contents page

apart from the small

page numbers and in

the background of

the ‘Q’ masthead.

This makes the page

much more neater

because it does not

make it difficult for

the consumer to find

what they are looking

for.

Although the page numbers are

not in large text they still stand

out because they are red. This

means that they differ

significantly to the other text

which is in black.

The hairstyles of the

band on the contents

page relate to the

genre of the magazine

because their hair is

long and messy which

links to the rock genre.

This contents page is all well linked together through

the colours used. The red white and black go well

together and all make each other stand out. The

images used link to the genre of the magazine which

is rock and sometimes slightly older music. The first

image is in the style of rock, this is suggested by the

hairstyles of the band. The image is quite faded which

makes it clear that it is not a pop or r&b genre

because those would use bright colours. The second

image looks quite old fashioned because of the

clothes the man is wearing and also where the image

is set.
