This is the second page of the contents in Q magazine, with some annotations around the side.

The contents page, in my opinion, is very picture based with olnly a minimal amount of text. It does however manage to look proffessional at the same time. It uses pictures to entice the readers attention firstly, and by being aethetically pleasing it makes the audience want to read on, and discover whats inside.

I also thought however, that the page was a little disjointed. It didnt contain much real substance, nor did the first page. If the two pages were combined, paying less attention to huge unnecessary pictures, then it could be fitted on the one page no problem. Jpwever, the writers of Q decided to spread it out over two pages and pay more emphasis to the pictures. It also uses screen shots of the pages inside with the page numbers next to it, so it makes it easier and quicker for readers to find the pages they want.

Overall, I thought it had more bad points than good, and it could be greatly improved. However, the use of bright pictures and block layout seems to work in its own way, and maybe swerve away from designs of more mainstream of "pop" or "teen" magazines full of bright patterns and text. This takes a more adult view on the contents page, maybe reflecting the target audience of the magazine.
