Analysing a contents page

In this blog post I will be answering questions about the magazine contents page to the right. The contents page belongs to a 'Q' magazine. I have chose this cover as I would like to produce a contents page fairly
similar for my magazine. 

  •  How many images does the cover use; what does this mean for your own planning?  
The cover consists of one main image covering almost the entirety of the page. The contents page contains no other pictures, to emphasise the importance of this artist. This means that i should consider inserting a smaller amount of pictures or just one big picture. Rather than a variety of smaller images.
  • How would you describe the layout? Would you say it was organised? Sleak? Uniform? Chaotic? Ordered? Boring? Interesting? Colourful?
The contents page is very organised and tidy. While the picture covers most of the page, the text at the side of the page looks very neat. The masthead has also been included in Q magazines usual position of the top left of the page giving the page a familiar look. 
  • What kinds of images are on the contents page? How have they been manipulated if they have been?
The only image on the page is the large image. It does not look to have any obvious photoshop skills used. However some subtle changes may have occurred such as smoothing/re-clolouring skin.
