Conventions analysis contents page

Conventions analysis of a contents page of a music magazine.

The main focal point for the content page is the stories and features that are listed on the side with the page numbers. It gives the reader a idea of what the magazine is going to contain and a brief idea of what they are about. The list down the magazine is shown very clearly and includes a little bit of information about each story that if going to be in the magazine. This then helps the reader see what they want to read or not and the page numbers so they can go straight to that page and read the featured story.

They have used the plain background and have kept the idea of the color read from the title 'Q', this shows the reader that there is a color theme (Red) and it is going to be shown throughout the magazine (mainly the titles) as it is a 'Q' magazine. The whole contents page colors consist of red, white and black for the theme of this magazine.

The contents page helps the audience find what they want to read about and are interested in with the page numbers for help so that if they don't want to read about one but want to read about another they can just go straight to that page. Also in the contents page it has a main image that is normally the main, big story that most people are interested in and that most people have heard about but just not heard the full story.
