Main image: We can see immediately that this contents page is quite different than the contents page of the magazine VIBe. Our main focus goes to the main image, which is located in the centre of the page. The main image background consists of black and white, which makes it even more standing out.
Floating quote: ‘After being run…alive’ has been used to draw audience’s attention. This is also done so that audiences have a little taste of what the main article is going to be about so if they are interested they can find the reference on page 9.
Colour scheme: NME magazine has used a lot of bright/vivid colours, which subverts the rock genre, as rock is associated with dark colours such as black and grey. The fact that they have used those colours shows that the magazine is aimed at a young audience between the ages of 16-25.
Layout: This content page is well structured; the columns at the right hand side are in different colours and with specific sub-headings and page numbers referring to different topics that are included in the music magazine. This makes it easy for readers to refer to the topic they are interested in. The contents page also consists of many visual images making it look extremely busy and a life, which would draw the attention of the target audiences showing that there is a lot to read in this magazine keeping the audiences entertained. Visual images have been placed net to the sub title, which makes it easy for audiences to see what the music magazine consist of.
Tie-in: At the bottom of the page a tie-in is used to daw audiences attention of the idea that they can win something.
Copy: The editor has used a lot of different type of fonts to make the contents page eye catching. The contents page consist mainly out of the colour yellow and red which makes it stand out and subvert the rock genre suggesting the editors wanted to try something different out than normal.
