•  There are supporting photographs relating to the text coloum articles.
•  The style of photograph is none in paticular, they seem like generic and plain pictures of artists featured in certain articles.

• There is a logo which is used that says ' 2013 Q magazine long-range forecast, which could relate to an upcoming event for the magazine.

Text

•  There isn't a main headline,there are various smaller headlines on the second page of the contents.
• There contents page is defined by having most of its text written in bold colours and font which was done to catch the audiences eyes.
• In terms of the font I noticed that the bold font was used to make the more important words stand out.

• The colours used, were, reds,blacks,whites and baby blue, these colours made the text stand out for certain articles e.g. David Bowie article written in bold red
• The colour scemes were similiar reds,blacks and whites were used for it to give a feeling of continuity The bold font was also used for both the front and the contents pages.
