This skyline contains the issue number and date that the magazine was published. A skyline fits the conventions of a typical magazine contents page.The skyline also contains the masthead and logo of the magazine ‘Q’. This is an important feature of a contents page as it helps to further promote the magazine and also helps to relate it back to the front cover.

The main image is the focal point of the contents page. The image is a picture of ‘The Courteeners’ who- according to genre conventions- are the main feature in the magazine. The image will most likely be a different image to the one on the front cover or it will be a smaller version of the same image.

The headings of the magazine are the same colours as the logo, this helps stick to the theme of the magazine (thus sticking to genre conventions) yet also draws to focus off the main image and the text and helps brighten up the page as well as helping to distinguish the different sections in the left hand column. Underneath the heading ‘Features’ is the main articles what will appear in this issue of the magazine; whilst under ‘Every Month’ the regular magazine content is listed

The page is put into columns, this fits into contents page conventions. Columns are predominantly used in contents pages to make is easier to read.

There is a smaller skyline towards the bottom of the page containing the word ‘Review’ as well as “The worlds biggest and best music guide”. This is a type of branding and publicity technique; it makes the readers think that this magazine is better than other similar magazines on the market psychologically persuading the consumers to buy it again.

The smaller image at the bottom of the page helps to break up all the text and information. However, it also relates to an article inside the magazine which entices the readers.

The colour scheme on vogue’s contents page is red black and white. The main image reflects this as her clothes (part

of the mise en scene) are the same three colours.

The main image is a predominant feature on this contents page, it is large and fills 3 of the 4 columns.

The masthead overpowers the main image. This is a very effective marketing technique by ‘vogue’ as it is suggesting that the brand is the most important part of the magazine. This publicity needs to be reinforced in magazines such as vogue as they are well established and expensive magazines.

There is text around the main image: in the 4th column and underneath the main image in two rows. This helps to keep the flow of the magazine as well as adding information about the ‘Special features’ ‘Fashion’ and other sections of the magazine.

The sub-headings are in red in order to distinguish them from the page content. They are also written in a bigger, different font so they stand out amongst the text.

The page numbers are placed next to the article that features on that page, this is the same for the main image, although the page number is placed actually on the image itself. The page numbers are also in bold to make it much more easy to find the article that you are looking for within the magazine. This fits with the conventions of a magazine contents page.

Under the heading ‘Cover Stories’ is the name of several articles within the magazine. However, different fonts have been used as well as bold and different sized text in order to make the text seem as if it is curving around the model’s body.

Much different to the previous two magazines, this contents page has a background that is two different colours. This is because the magazine is aimed at a much younger audience so brighter much more appealing colours are used for this age range.

There are several images on this contents page yet much more than the previous two magazines. This is because a younger age range are stereotypically put off by lots of text in a magazine, so images are much more accessible. However, fitting with the conventions of a contents page, there is a main image which is larger and more predominant than the other images. The images in the left hand column of the magazine contain people who also feature heavily within the magazine. Although they are not featured as heavily as the celebrities in the main image. The Images on the bottom row of the page contain different celebrities. This helps to appeal to a wider audience and entices fans of those particular artists to buy it.

Fitting with the conventions for a magazine contents page, the page number of the article is placed either on an image related to the article or next to the article information itself.

Unlike the previous magazines this contents page is much more visible and has a lot less textual information on it.

This contents page also contains typical features of a contents page such as, the logo of the magazine and a masthead. However, there are much more shapes and colours. This is because this is a pop magazine and magazines aimed at younger people tend to have these things in common as it is much more appealing to the target audience.
