Music magazine contents pages
Contents pages
1. Q magazine Oct 2012- Q magazines contents page is spread over 2 pages with multiple pictures over them. The colour scheme is followed through the contents page as it should and is made up of red, black and white. The main articles have photos enlarged above them and the page numbers are not in order of how they appear in the magazine but show where the more interesting articles are. There is also a small subscription box in the bottom right of the right hand page.
2. NME - NME's contents page has a completely different layout compared to Q. It is only a single page contents page and is full of colours. There is a large picture in the centre of the page along with 3 smaller images on the bottom of the large picture. There is a 'Band index' column down the left had side of the page with all the bands that are in the magazine and what page they are on. Down the left hand side there are 6 different sections with what is in that article. Like Q magazine, there is a subscription feature on the contents page.
3. Q magazine Oct 2001 - This Q magazines contents page is a different style compared to the newer 2012 version. It is only a single page spread and isn't as vibrant as the newer version. There are small pictures of different articles with page numbers on them referring to the which page that picture and article is on. The page numbers are ordered in 3 columns and are in order of page numbers. There are 2 pictures which look like badges which are on the top half of the page.
4. The Fly - Since this is a local music magazine it isn't as large as the bigger national magazines like Q and NME. This contents page is a single sided A5 piece of paper and is quite simple. The magazine's title is at the top right of the page and the article subheadings are below it along side the page numbers in white. The entire page is covered by a single photo of a band and the text overlays it. The editor also has a small piece of text at the bottom right of the page.
What information will I need for my contents page?
Looking at the different content pages I have seen these features that I would need in my contents page: A main interview, a second interview, an album review, a couple of photos of different articles and possibly any other ideas which I could think of. By doing this it will hopefully appeal to the reader.
Planning out content for the contents page
For my contents page I will have the features for my magazine laid out as such:
- Second interview
- Album review
- Top 10 chart list
- Main interview
- Gig guide for 2014
