Inspirational Contents Page's

This contents page stood out for me as the first thing that my eyes were drawn too was the models legs, I like how the model is positioned in this page, its unique and stands out a lot. I also noticed the way the word 'contents' was positioned and how it is broken down into three words. The fonts used on the sub headings for example 'features', the font used for those are very good and stand out to me. The colour at the top of the page is very dark then when onto the model at the bottom of the page it lightens up, as if a spotlight is on her. I think this is done on purpose so that the readers notice her first and know who the main focus of the page is about. If I could steal anything from this contents page would be the way 'contents' is set out, its very original. 

The thing I like about this contents page, is how they have used many images and less text, in the same time way it has enough text. The images range from different sizes which i also like, as you can identify easily the main story by the bigger story and the less important ones being the smaller images. The magazine has used a highlighting tool, highlighting important things in the contents page. For example: 'contents' has a black background with contents in yellow, not only making the word stand out but showing to the reader what page they are reading. Another example of the highlighting tool would be used on the page numbers, used exactly the same way as the contents text is. If I could steal anything for my contents page,I would steal the the high lighting effect.
The thing I like about this magazine is the colours used, the bright red and white stand out together and make the magazine eye catching to the reader. The red parts of text either highlight importance or a underline a little sub story. Other colours used are black and white, they are used for text and for the reference numbers. The layout of this magazine is eye catching, it is set over a double page spread which isn't common in contents pages and showing that the magazine has a lot of important information in it. From the images used, the sizes help reflect their importance in the magazine. For example, the image of the cartoon character, 44. That is the largest image on the contents page, so this would reflect to me that there is a big story or something important about that character issuing in the magazine. I like the text used in the Q magazine, its simple but stands out a lot with the help of the colour scheme. If I could steal anything from the Q magazine it would the use of colours and the sizing of images to help show importance.
