Analysis of music magazines content pages

The content page for Q magazine is very
 simple, there is no fancy editing tricks used.
The layout of the is well put together, it is neatly
separated in boxes. It has a simple and clear title
with the issue number beside it. 
  Down the left hand side the features are laid out
very clearly, one beneath the other.The Sub-heading
for each feature is in bold letters and a clear separation
can be seen between each one. There is also a splash of
red with some of the fonts rather than black to make it 
stand out from the rest and draws the readers attention.
    The image down the right had side have been used to
give the readers a glimpse of what the article may be about
without revealing everything. Overall this content page is very
clear and supplies the reader with easy access to the content
of the magazine. It is also very organised, classy and well put
together.




This is a content page from Vibes magazine. I think it
took a very unconventional way in portraying an image
on its content page. The layout on this is very creative
and brings a whole new feel to what a content page 
should look like.
   The writing on the page is very organised as the 
text on the content page of Q magazine. The color 
of the fonts compliments the whole color scheme. 
The text is also aligned with the edge of her legs
showing how it works with the image.
  There is only one image used  on the page, she is
in an awkward position but it just adds to the 
presentation display. Seeing that there isn't many
images used it adds to the simplicity and calm feel
of the magazine. On overall this content page just
shows that a content page doesn't have to be 
crowned with images and bright color to look
good and attractive. It shows that simple can get 
the job done.

This is a pop/rock music magazine content page. The content page is
is very different to that of the one from Q magazine. There are a variety
 of images used on the page which is surrounded by the text on the page. 
The colors in the images blend in with the whole color scheme.
The title seem to be the biggest piece of writing on the on the page
and it in pink and red which stands out on the black background and
draws the readers attention to it. The font colors are coordinated to 
match in with the whole color scheme which is an important tool in 
catching the readers eyes. 
 The layout arrangement of the magazine was well put together. In
some ways it was similar to the other two magazine in that the arran-
gment of the text were very precise and not all over the place. It was 
quite a shocker for this magazine because one would expect it to be
all over the place and crazy but it's not.The execution of the whole 
presentation was very much well done.
