The contents page is really based around the main image of Cheryl Cole which takes up more than half of the page which shows she is the main article in the magazine. The picture shows Cheryl Cole as sexy and still looking rock n roll which connotes the look this magazine is known for. So for the Q readers which are normally rock n roll fans wouldn’t mind looking at the Cheryl Cole article to see if theirs anymore pictures like the one used in the contents page so Q magazine aim this at the male readers more than anything as Q is said to be read more by men than by women. Most of the contents page is black and white and you have a big red banner at the top red connotes warmth and a homely vibe which makes the reader feel comfortable and as everything is in black and white this stands among all else. Also as they use red on the front cover they give the reader familiarity also the big Q at the top of the page just to get you to remember the sign. On the side of the contents page they have in black the issue number which shows the popularity of the magazine to have so many issues so they’re boasting to the audience that their magazine is really good.
They put the artist’s names in bold letters to draw the reader to them as some readers have different tastes from others so they want the reader to know exactly what page there artists are on by putting big numbers beside there faces and their names. Also there is a contrast on both pages on the first page the numbers are all in black when they’re on the pictures then on the second page every number next to the photo’s are white and also so writing in the heading has the same contrast which shows Q magazine wants to try mix it up a bit for their readers and wants to stick to their colours of red, white and black. Also where they show what article is on what page they give you a little description of what the article is a bout so if you’re in the shop and you’re looking at the contents page you will see a brief description which would make you want to buy the magazine. Q magazine is smart in the way they use familiarity so the reader feels at home reading this magazine.
