Contents Analysis 3

This contents page is from Q magazine. It has 138 pages and it has 21 stories in 2 sections. This is laid out in 3 columns with 14 images. 11 of the articles are illustrated with an image. The page numbers are placed to the left of articles inside a red box and are font size 14 and are in a similar style to that of the front cover due to the red and white colour scheme. This creates synergy with the front cover as the font and colours are the same in both. There is some white space around where the text is. There are 3 studio shots and the rest are on location. Each image has different clothes. This contents relates to the genre of pop rock through the artists they have stories on, as well as using red in their colour scheme.

There is the logo of the magazine at three different places around the contents, once in the top right corner, in the bottom right corner on another magazine front cover, and in the middle of the left page on the circle. The publisher of the magazine is Bauer Media Group. You can tell the target audience is young- mid adults from quite trendy layout, with it being quite busy, mixed with using older artists such as David Bowie. The theory of Dyer, 'a star is an image, not a person', can be applied especially due to the makeup of David Bowie with the red and blue lightning strike.

How This Has Affected My Research and Creativity

I really like the way they have photos on both pages, but with one page dedicated specifically to photos. I also like the way most the photos have the same colour scheme, which matches in with the rest of the contents.
