The Contents Page…The ‘Q’ logo is used continuously,and always on the contents page-this could be to reinforce thename, also small logo fits in nicelyon the page.

Using ‘Features’ as a subheadingmakes it easier for the reader tofind what they want, becausethey would have been drawn in bythe features on the cover.

Having a subheading of ‘EveryMonth’ gives it a personal feel tothe readers that buy it everymonth- they’ll know what toexpect.

There is a minimal use of images-this may be due to all theinformation on the pages is listedin the contents list, they needlittle images because theaudience have already beendrawn in to reading the magazine.

The colours red, white and blackhave been used again, just like thecover. This shows that themagazine has consistency.

Each page number is shownclearly by using a bright redinstead of a black which has beenused for the rest of the body font-it’s a lot easier for the reader tofind the page.

The layout is quite simple, andeverything is aligned straight. Thisportrays the magazine as quite asophisticated one- meaning itcould attracted an older audienceas well as a younger audience.

The language used is verystandard English. They use shortsentences and including quotes,“”He’s just showing off” LiamFrays mum hits nail on head”.These show a quick insight to thearticle, making you want to read.

The type of paper used is quiteglossy which shows sophisticationof the magazine and gives it amore professional look.

Having an image of Shakira takeup most of the background on thefirst gives real emphasis as towhom the article is about as wellas the idea of an ‘up close andpersonal’ interview.

Both of the images used showcontrast. The main one is a shotof her hard at work, showing herbusiness side. However, the otherimage show a lot of flesh andgives the idea of ‘stripped’ and‘bare’- essentially, you get to seethe real Shakira.

Using “Danger” followed by andexclamation mark immediatelydraws the reader in because youread it with exclamation in yourmind.

The body font used is a blackTimes New Roman. It’s a goodchoice of font because it’s verycommon, easy to read and looksprofessional.

The caption of the second picturehas a blue back ground. This couldbe because not everyone willnecessarily want to read thewhole article, so using the bluewill grab audiences attention andthey can simply read the caption.

Each page is set out in twocolumns. This makes it simple forthe reader to read and gives thepage a sophisticated andconsistent layout.
