This is a comparison of an issue out of the 'Q' music magazine. The masthead carries from both the front cover to the contents page. However, shown by the yellow rectangles the 'Q' on the front cover is white with a red background, whereas, on the contents pages the 'Q' is red with a black background. Despite the change in colour scheme it still shows consistency and maintains the house style across these pages.
This particular magazine has two contents pages which is not that common, but each page has many images on it. The first page of the contents page has 6 images on it and the second page has 4 images on it.
The main image on the front cover is of 'The Smiths' and this image has been de-saturated. Also an image of the Smiths is also shown on the contents page and the double page spread which is highlighted by a pink rectangle; both images on the contents page and the double page spread are of the the whole band so variation of the image is used effectively. Also these images use vibrant colours which makes them more appealing to the reader.
On the front cover and the double page spread the use of pink has been used this works well as it is used just to help the reader to associate this colour with the band 'The Smiths'. Furthermore, this colour scheme is used on every double page spread in the magazine to do with 'The Smiths'. However, they do not use this colour scheme in any other issue in the magazine and it is a unique feature for this issue.
Moreover, other elements help to link the front cover, contents page and double page spread. This includes elements such as the image of Lily Allen on the front page which is carried over to a bigger image on the contents page, this is shown via the highlighted orange rectangles. Lastly, the stickers that are highlighted by purple rectangles are present and this helps connect the contents page and the double page spread as similar design elements are used on both pages.
