The left third of the page consists of a 'features list' and an 'every month' list. This is always in the same place as the consistency helps to make the reader feel comfortable and secure within themselves. Also, the audience will read from the left side of the page to the right side, therefore, the list is in the appropriate place as it will be one of the first things the audience comes to. Each feature has the page number in a larger font and a different colour to the name of the feature to make it stand out and ensure it is easy to find.
The rest of the page is taken up by a large image of the cover story with the same format as the list - a page number in a large red font, the name of the band in the same size font but in black and the anchorage in a smaller black font. This shows the audience where to find the cover story instantly as some readers might have bought the magazine as a one-off because they like the artist/band featured as the main story.
Moreover, there is a box underneath the picture and next to the list headed 'review'. This is a regular feature as each issue there are different things being reviewed and this section of the page lists what is being reviewed in each specific issue. Also, the style of the 'review' heading is the same style as the 'contents' heading - a black strip with the red and white 'Q' logo at the far left, followed by the title of the section and the other necessary information.
Finally, the colour scheme is consistent from the front cover creating a look which is easy on the eye. The red, black and white also creates an image of danger, mystery and purity all at the same time which inspires the reader to keep buying the magazine as a mixture of bands and stories could feature at any point in time.
