Contents page - Review

I soon realised when composing my contents page that there was 'blank space', even after including my images, letter from the editor and my own original 'subscribe' box.
I decided to look at different contents pages from existing media products of similar genres to my magazine, and found a common feature among the magazine 'Q!''s issues.

Q! magazine features all of the typical codes and conventions that are expected of a music magazine, however they also include a 'Q Review' that briefly features a short review of a particular feature band/artist.
Here is an example:



I believe this would be a good idea fo me to recreate within my own contents page.

I will include an artist that is typical of my target audience to like - perhaps quite an obscure/alternative band that not many people will have heard of - using my magazine contents page to promote them to my target audience.




Here is my own CRASH! review section:


I included a brief overview about the band, with information such as how they sound, where they are from and how many are in the band.

I decided not to include an image as the Q review did as I already have a lot of images on my contents page - and didn't want to detract attention or make my contents page too 'cluttered'.
