Q Magazine has a simple and neat layout for their contents so it is easy for the reader to navigate. The Mast head is written in bold, light text and stands out off the dark background of the strip at the top of the page. It clearly states that it is the "contents" so the reader is not confused.
This Contents page is split into sections making the page again even more easy to navigate. The reader can go straight to the section they are most interested in and find an article which catches their eye. These headings are bright and stand out also. The "features" would draw the reader in as they are different in every issue. The audience would want to go to this part of the magazine to see what exciting features are in the issue. For the Loyal readers there is a section for articles that are printed "every month". This could be something that creates trust with the reader as they know what they are getting every month. Reviews are clearly a main selling point and favourite of the readers of Q magazine as the heading is done in the same wayt as the main one at the top. This means that it is an important feature of this magazine. The picture used in the "reviews" box, shows someone famous to appeal the the reader. By using a different colour for the background of the "reviews" box suggests that it is seperate to the rest of the magazine or extra special.
The main feature on this page which jumps out of the page is the picture of "The Courteeners". The audience of this magazine would be drawn to the magazine because of this. The caption under the photo gives off the impression that exclusive information about there lives and personalities will be revealed in this issue; to a fan, this would be a must read issue. The members of the group also look friendly and inviting, almost inviting the readers into the magazine.
Another main feature which would stand out from other music magazines is the "Oasis Special". The text is in a different colour to the rest of the text showing it is defferent to all the other features in the magazine. the Mention of Oasis would definitely draw in an audience.
