Research, comparison of Mojo magazine and Q magazine, analysis of contents page, 3.


The Q magazine contains colourful PUGS to display page numbers and they are positioned above the artist name and pictures that will be found on that page. However Mojo magazine have chosen a different page layout and  listed all page numbers on the left hand side of the first page and on the second has pictures with numbers displayed in box-out to allow them to stand out which is similar to Q Magazine, through my research i have found that most page numbers are placed in either PUGS, banners or box-out as it allows them to stand out and catches the eyes of potential readers effectively. I prefer the Q magazine layout and will use this on my magazine as it appears more organized and is much easier and quicker to read and understand. Both magazines have writing underneath each subheading informing the reader on what the particular sections of the magazine will include. 

In comparison the Q magazine looks like it may attract a younger adult target audience because of the artists represented and the brighter colours, Whereas the Mojo magazine has an older target audience represented by its darker colours (for example the black and white images). 

The colours used on the Mojo magazine are black and white with the occasional red, orange and brown tones whereas the Q magazine contains a wider range of bright colours suggesting the magazine is for a younger target audience as opposed to the older target audience of Mojo. 

Some of the models on the Q magazine contents page are examples of direct address from models posing by themselves and also a number of group shots, as they are maintain eye contact with the camera, this is similar to the Mojo magazine. There are also a range of different sets that the images have been taken on both contents pages, ranging from studio to on location
