colours: the colours again are white red and black, this is very traditional for Q magazine and they have used this on all other types of analysis i have done on Q magazine. the black contents is on a red banner at the top which shows the reader that it is the contents. on the right hand page on the red banner in white it shows what issue it is. all of the writing is in small black against a white background which makes it easier to read.

design: the contents is over two pages with there being a lot of information and images on both pages.going down the left hand side of the left page and the right hand side of the right page are the contents of what is in the magazine with a lot of information of what it is about and in the middle where the two pages meet there is a lot of images with numbers set into them to show you what page is relevant with that story .

images: there are many different images in the centre where the two pages meet. and all the pictures are very similar when it comes to there colour, they are rather darker and dull colours which shows you that it is in the 'indie' theme and this will attract that audience.

words and language: the red banner at the top of the page shows the bold and black writing of 'Contents' and 'Issue 283' all of the titles of the page are in a simple font to read so that the audience understands what they can expect on that page. where it says 'the 2010 preview' it will make the audience excited because they would want to know what is going to be big in 2010 so they would want to go straight ahead to that page and find out.

overall impression: i like the way that there is a lot of information for every title on the contents page, this way it will help readers know what to expect when they go to that page. i also like the way that there are many images and they all have there page numbers on them, i like this because it makes the contents page less dull and interesting and also if a reader sees a image they are interested to they can go straight to that page.
