With this Q contents page you can see that it is image dominated but also has a subtle blocky style to keep structure and not look busy. With having the main image all white males in their 203/30s this tells us that for this specific issue the target demographic is white male is 20s/30s.  Also with the band members wearing all black and white tells us what style of music they play could be alternative, this may draw the attention of the readers to see what alternative styles they do. It gives off an indie/rock style so that straight away the audience know what to expect throughout the magazine and the long hair and unusual setting in the image is common for a mainstream band. The image has made clear who the lead singer is as they’ve positioned him at the front and gave him the extra accessories of sunglasses, which connotes coolness and will impress the audience. The magazine has kept the symbol of ‘Q’ noticeable in the corner and the consistency familiarises the readers that they are reading ‘Q’ and keeps repeating the image of the magazine in their heads. The continuous theme of black red and white is the stereotypical colour scheme for an indie/rock magazine, this tells the audience what genre of music to expect throughout the magazine. The heading use continuity of the design and colour scheme as it’s a red background with white writing, and also is the two colours of the magazine logo, reminding the readers that they are reading ‘Q’. The use of vertical columns for page information makes it easy to read for the audience and also helps frame the main image. 
From this analysis for my magazine I will be having an image dominated contents page as it’s very common on rock magazines and I’d like to keep the house style, also having a block effect to keep the structure. I want my main image to give the audience indication of what’s ahead in the magazine and what to expect; I’d also have the positioning of my band this this issue of Q, having the lead singer noticeably ahead of the others to show straight away what the bands all about straight away. As throughout my analyses I’ve noticed the common theme of having a red black and white colour scheme I will also pick up on this convention for my own rock magazine so keep in with the stereotype and house style.  I also think keeping the logo somewhere on the page to remind your readers that they are reading ‘Q’ is another convention I will follow through.
