Contents page research

To begin my contents page, I had to look into how other contents page of existing magazine's were.

I looked at two different magazine content pages, they were 'Vibe' magazine and 'Q' magazine. Vibe magazine is a "Bi-monthly" magazine published by 'Vibe Media'. Q magazine is a monthly magazine and is published by 'Bauer media group'.
Both of the magazine's we're unique and had their individuality, to get a good idea of what the magazine's use most i got several content pages from each magazine.
Here are some content pages from 'Vibe' magazine:

 

Here are some contents pages from 'Q' magazine:

 As you can see both the magazines have large pictures on their contents page and you can identify each magazine separately because each content magazine looks similar for each edition of the magazines. You can identify the Q magazine contents magazine by their logo which is always on their content page. On the other hand you can identify Vibe magazine contents page by the V(stands for Vibe) on each contents page. Also Vibe writes 'contents' a different way from all other magazine so you can identify it that way.
After looking at these magazines, i started planning my contents pages using some of the elements used by both magazines.
