SimilaritiesAgain, there is a common theme of red here as it stands out clearly to the reader and draws their attention in as it has connotations of danger or alertness which will make the reader subconsciously aware of what the writing says. Because of this, it contrasts highly with the black writing which then makes the normal coloured writing on the rest of the page. there are always two or more photos on the contents page, often either of the band on the front cover or the band that some of the articles are about. The list of pages also tends to go down vertically on one side of the page or the other in a neat and organised fashion. there is also usually a bigger bit next to the contents list with a little bit about the double page spread or about the magazine in general. DifferencesOverall, there really aren't many differences at all which in itself stands out. This would suggest to me that the general layout of a contents page is neat and well structured, clear and easy to read. This means that I will have to do the same sort of layout for my contents page. The one difference i have spotted in these different Indie music magazine contents pages (I know that one of them has hip hop elements but there is some rock and Indie in there too) is that the pictures are often ordered a little differently. For example, in the first Q magazine, there is one big picture of a band and then a neat, smaller picture underneath whereas in the other Q magazine, it is rather messy whilst still holding some sort of order and clarity. The pictures are canted or off centre with the page numbers of the corresponding articles on the pictures. Codes and Conventions of an Indie Magazine Contents PageFrom this evidence, i can conclude that the codes and conventions for a general Indie music magazine are:
. Red and black colour scheme . A neat list of pages . more than one picture . A bigger section with more information I will use this information whilst constructing my own Indie magazine.
