I really like this contents page because everything is close together which makes it easy to read and show the reader what is in the magazine. I also like how the 'Inside This Week' title is big and bold and then the rest of the writing is smaller yet easy to read. Also there are different font's for each story which shows that each story has it's own identity.

There are no extreme close up's of any bands/ singers which is good as you can clearly see the 'stars' of the magazine and each picture has something different. For example the mid shot of the Arctic Monkeys in the top corner shows that the band are rebellious as they are all spread out and the main singer is wearing sunglasses. However the one at the bottom in the middle ( Page 8) is clearly a picture from the singers past so all the pictures are different.

Also their are spinets of each interview with each picture which gives the reader a taster of the interviews. Finally I really like the simple coloring black writing on a white background gives off a positive vibe and makes it very easy to read. It is simple yet effective.
Just like NME's contents page I really like Q's contents page as well because it has a large bright image taking up the whole right side and this indicates to the reader that it is the main story of the magazine. Also unlike most contents pages there are not any huge fonts, which is good as it makes it seemed more relaxed and is something different! The rest of the stories are short and take up the left side however at the top there seems to be another story with a picture at the top and an interview. This will get the audiences attention as it is a screamer. Finally I like the simple coloring again with the black writing going on the red background as it makes it easy to read and creates a bright effect. Also add in the white background and it is a nice mix of colors which complement each other.
