The contents page is very organized, con-

sistent with the house style. A common

convention that I have noticed is that

most contents pages have a main image

teamed with a few small images. There

are also page numbers to help with the

reader’s navigation through the magazine.

Furthermore another indication

that the publication is for an older

audience is the image to text ratio

as seen right. There is only one

image and lots of text. In my mag-

azine I want to create a compro-

mise and have text combined with

a few images in order to make my

magazine more interactive and

enjoyable for the reader.

The Q Magazine House Style is much more

formal in contrast with other magazine e.g.

NME which sport a more cluttered layout. This

could suggest a more mature demographic.

The typography is also quite formal . The col-

our palette is limited to red, white and black

as opposed to a variety of different colours.

The colour connotations suggest a magazine

of the rock genre as opposed to a pope maga-

zine that will incorporate more feminine soft

colours e.g. pink and blue.

Moreover another convention I noticed was of

the very sexualised images of female artists as

seen left and below. The photographic images

show the artist in a very provocative manner

which objectifies the artist and presents them

as a sex symbol.
