This contents page comes from 'Q' Magazine. Contents pages are supposed to be clear and tidy so the reader can understand what they are looking at. This particular contents page is very neat, the magazine uses its colour scheme for the contents page as well; red, white and black - this helps to keep the magazine looking tidy and put together.

The main picture is of a band called 'The Courteeners', as the page number a little information is presented in a white box on top of the picture, it shows us that this is the biggest story in the magazine.

Down the left hand side is a white strip containing all the stories the magazine has to offer. In a red box the word 'Features' is written showing us what extracts have been chosen for this magazine, a little further down is a lightly outlined box with the words 'Oasis Special' written inside, this whole box contains stories of the band Oasis, this is obviously showing us that they are popular at this moment in time as they have 5 pages about them.

Underneath that in a red box are what I would call activities; these are activities that are placed in the magazine every month, the box is just there to let people know what pages they are on incase they want to skip to the activities first before going on to read the stories.

In the bottom right hand corner is a section called 'Q Review, the worlds biggest and best music guide'; this section is basically all the pages to do with all the latest news on music and what's new, I think youngsters can really relate to this as music is an everyday essential to young people's lives.

There is a picture of the Australian singer, songwriter 'Nick Cave' and the number of the page where you can find his story; this is obviously there to show us that the extract on him is important.

The date and issue number is neatly tucked away in the top right hand corner out of the way of everything else making the page look immaculately tidy.
