Q Magazine

This is another contents page by Q magazine which contrasts with the other two contents pages as on the left hand side you can see they have used the blocky look with the information in the red box.

I think the red box is a great way to grab the reader’s attention I would like to use this in my own magazine as I think it works well.

Again the use of the border at the bottom of the page seems to stand out. The text used on this banner is colloquial language for example ‘I fart in your direction.’ This immediately indicated that it is for a younger demographic.

The image of the male character in a mid shot I really like because his facial expressions seems to be harsh giving off a gritty cutting edge personality.

When I looked at all of these different Q magazines contents pages they all differed but had a gritty like feel to them with the use of mostly blacks and greys with the occasional splash of white and red.

The banner across the top with ‘235 contents feb06’ works really well in different colours as the red black and grey al stand out against another which draws the eye to it. Also the big bold writing chosen for this banner looks effective.
