This magazines contents page is unique because it is based souly around an image and therefore is taking away significance from the text. The contents page infact has very minimal information or representation of articles and has chosen to only disply the Feature articles page and plot on the page. However the page is clean and clear to read and is very successful as a layout however isnt very functional as a use of navigation. The page is design over function, i would like to find a happy medium.

This contents page has been sourced from Vibe Magazine and has been made with my target audience in mind due to the fact that it is a Hiphop magazine. The Contents page again has been made and structured around a main image; this time of rapper Kanye West. The tile of the contents page "Contents" has been made to be spelt in 3 different lines of text, this means that the text can be larger and not restricted by the small size of the page. The way that the title has been layed out is also effective in drawing the eye downward toward the contents itself. The contents has been categorised into different sections for example Fashion and features as displayed in the image. The contents page is a double page and the rest of the articles are displayed clearly on the other page not shown in the image, the contents page is perfectly funtional and is easy to navigate. This is a happy medium and i will be using this page as inspiration for my own.



The Q magazines use of a doubke page is more along the line of what i was planning for my own. there is a good use of images on the page and they are very successful in breaking up the text of the contents. The title of the page has been traditionaly placed at the top along with the issue number. The images used are all completely relative to the contents and add to the articles, The photographs are clearly labled to the articles through the use of numbering. This encourages the reader to explore the page more and drags their eyes in different directions. The images on the page have been used as a form of advertising for the smaller attraction of the relating text and entises the reader on to read the article further into the magazine. The use of numbered pivtures is the most succesful aspect of this page and i will definately try to use it in the creation of my own contents page.
