Textual analysis, Contents page, 4

This contents page is simple due to the photo and the basic columns. Apart from the black and white, the only other colour is red, linking to the Q logo. The logo on the page is much smaller than the one on the cover page but is the same colour as the page numbers so overall works well as a whole.
   Next to the logo, there's a line and in that row, there's the issue number, the word contents and the date number. The issue number and the word contents are the same font size but different colours. The date is next to contents but smaller and a grey. This shows importance and difference from the three, making Contents stand out more as it would need to for the readers to be able to identify it when flicking through the magazine.
   The two subtitles, 'Features' and 'Every Month' are both in the same font- white in a black box. This separates them from the page numbers and stories and makes it obvious that they are subheadings rather than another story. The Features section shows what's on offer, what is in the magazine and what new stories are there. Whereas the Every Month section is more what's in every issue and what people are going to be interested in when buying the magazine each month.
   The image is an iconic sign due to being a photo of signing, James Blunt. It has been cut out and put onto the page, using most of the space but leaving enough room for the column for text. He is looking directly into the lens, with a facial expression that I found hard to identify a meaning from. I think that he looks serious without having any immediate feeling able to show. The second cover story is about James Blunt, making the image relevant to the contents page.
   The red arrow in the bottom right hand corner tells the reader to carry on and go on to the next page.
