In typical A-level fashion i've been struggling to find influences relating to an Acoustic/Singer-Songwriter/Folk Magazine. However the recent rise of artists such as Ed Sheeran, Gabrielle Aplin and even Taylor Swift has bridged the gap between acoustic and pop music. Which gives me a reason to take both acoustic and pop influences for this magazine.

Moving on to the above image, there are a couple of features in this contents page which i'd like to include in this project.

Firstly the border on the top displays the basic information that every contents page needs and manages to include the 3 house clours that Q uses, black red and white. Despite only having one page for my contents page instead of the two that is used here, I would like to include this in my project with my own intended house colours, white, orange and pink. However on this border it does display the issue number. I feel like this is something that is only needed on the front cover.

Next is the layout of the writing across this image. The rule of thirds is used from left to right here. With the most important articles on the left, images in the centre and less important articles on the right. While I understand why Q has done this, I would like to use this in a descending order rather than landscape to maximise the use of a one page contents rather than two.
