contents page by kate

This contents page is from the magazine Q. The colours are black, white and red. They have a heading at the top which lets you know its the contents page and it also tells you the date of the issue. They have a big, close up picture of a well-known artist. The picture stares straight at you which attracts your attention and makes a connection to the audience. They have a little bit of information at the top left of the image which explains the connection from the image to the article. There's a features column with page numbers and names of the articles next to it. There's also a every month column which has a list of features they put in every issue and the page that its on. They have the usual codes with the colours, they have a banner along the bottom. The picture is part of the codes. They have a date of the issue and a house style. The musician in the picture isn't smiling and he looks sad which isn't a stereotypical look for a male in a magazine, his look in the picture reflects on the article as sad. The language in the contents page is very formal. The image dominates 3/4 of the page making him the main focus.

Review
On my contents page I will use a full length image that will only take up 50% of the page. I will use a banner because it looks good on this contents page. I will use more appealing fonts and colours.
