Contents page analysis

I find that the style of Q magazines contents page is very aesthetically pleasing and informative. It uses a great range of images and doesn't bombard you with text. Each image represents what the article will be focused on, and somewhere on each image a number will be shown, indicating that that article can be found on that page, for example The gorilaz article will be found on page 44. I think this is a successful way of letting the reader navigate the magazine. You have also then got the three different sections placed with in the layout. The Q review, Regulars features.
This is likely the style and layout that will inspire my contents page.
