Here is an example of a contents page from the music magazine Q. It features the band The Courteeners in full body shot stood on top of a hill. The band standing on top of hill gives the connotations that they are 'on top of' most other bands and the symbolic codes of the picture represents power. Undernearth is a quote that reads "He's just showing off.' Liam Fray's mum hits nail on head." The way in which the band members are stood in the picture represents the bands rebellious attitute.

The mise en scene of the page features all the required conventions of a contents page. It uses a large image of the band that takes up most of the page and will grab the readers attention, perhaps to show importance. It is accompanied by numbered sub-headings and brief descriptions of what is featured on each page.


The language of the page features sub-headings that include interesting titles that have elements of comedy that would appeal to the target audience. It uses phrases such as 'Rock Star Fitness' in the Subtitles to give the reader an idea of what is included inside the magazine.

The splash of the contents page features the main image on the right hand side with the the numerical sub-headings featured in a collumn down the left hand side. One of the subtitles is placed over the image of the band to give the reader information about the band whilst also being a function.
