The contents page uses a large white masthead at the top center to identify it as the contents section. Below this is a numerical contents list categorizing articles into sections with bold subheadings and normal text details. Page numbers are in red for easy visibility. Essential date and page number info is at the bottom in small text. Three images take up half the page, drawing the eye, with the central one largest but in low light so less attention grabbing potentially than the bright female image. Color scheme is consistent with the magazine using only three colors for a professional look.

Masthead
similarly to the front cover the masthead is positioned in the top left
corner and in the same font and colour as the cover. This shows that the
magazine is consistent and also makes the magazine look more
professional. The contents masthead has been done in simple black font
with what looks like the same font as the cover masthead. This is simple
and clear and shows this magazine can still look good without being
extravagant.
Essential info
This is info such as the date,
page number and even on
the contents page it
includes the website
address. This info is very
often done in small and at
the bottom as it is here
because it is considered
boring but it essential for
the magazine.
Images
there are two images on the
contents page. The audience
would instantly be drawn to
largest of the images as it is
taking up ¾’s of the page.
This image shows a long
haired man posing in a
diagonal direction. The
image uses high key lighting
as it very bright and clear.
There is some blurring
towards the bottom of the
image showing the man to
be wearing a camouflage
shirt. He may be wearing
this as a metaphor to show
he is not usually looked at or
people even consider him
‘invisible.’ The other image
is much smaller and has
used a black and white filter
which may have been done
to contrast the red on the
page. The image shows what
looks to be a band who
seem to be playing a set.
The image is very small and
so may have only put there
to prevent the page from
being bare and to give it
some decoration.
Font
the font in the masthead is
the same as the front cover.
The contents masthead uses
a similar font but it is slightly
thinner and smaller. There
are a list of artist names
down the left side of the
page and these have a used
a consistent font being black
and block letters. This only
changes for the band name
‘Queen.’ This may have done
to show that these should
stand out from the other
artists as the fond is
different and larger. The
colour of the text used
underneath is also in red
conflicting from the rest of
the artists being in black. It is
clear this artist is wanted to
stand out and have the
reader’s eye drawn to it. This
may make the reader think
that the article on this band
is more interesting than the
others.
Colour
the magazine uses a consistent colour scheme
of black, white and red. This may be done to
show the magazine is professional and classy
as having lots of different colours jumping
around the page is mostly associated with
magazines aimed at younger audiences.
Therefore this colour scheme is appropriate
for the target audience it reaches

Masthead
the masthead ‘billboard’ remains as it was on the cover page and so the magazines consistency
flows from page to page. This differs from the front cover as it is significantly smaller but it is
similar to the previous magazine as it is positioned near the top left side of the page. The
contents masthead is large black text but it is not a recurring text from the cover of the
magazine showing that this is a fresh page and this is clearly the focal font for the contents page
as it is repeated at least twice. Similarly to the previous magazine the contents title is positioned
at the very top of the page to make it clear that everything underneath is stating the ‘contents.’
The Charts List
this list is part of the main
purpose of this magazine
as it is ‘billboard.’ So the
charts list gives the
audience an update of
what is current and
essentially advising them
on what music they
should be listening to.
The artists and their place
in the chart are
categorised by colour
which makes it easier for
the reader to distinguish
an artist’s place in the
chart. This makes it more
reader friendly as it is a
lot of information
condensed into a small
section so it also doesn’t
take up unnecessary
space.
Colour
this magazine uses a
couple more colours in
comparison to the
previous magazine but it
is all in keeping with the
colour scheme from the
front cover and from the
masthead. This magazine
may use more colours
because it appeals to
wider variety of music
listeners compared to the
previous magazine and so
they may represent this
by using a variety of
colours. The main colour
used though is blue and
this is consistent and
stands out most as a
frame for the page, this
may differ from issue to
issue.
Essential info
this includes info such as the
date, web address, date and
any other information which is
essential for the magazine.
Similar to the previous
magazine this is positioned at
the bottom of the page as it is
not interesting.
Images
there are four images used on this contents page and the reader’s eye would
usually be drawn to the group of 3 images at the top of the page. These are all of
the same size and shape and give a small insight into the article which they are
relating to give the reader an idea of which they would prefer to read first and so
giving the page number in the image. All images show people playing or performing
music but they all seemto represent different genres e.g. the first one could be
pop and the third one punk rock. There is the main image which is larger and shows
a young gentleman dressed smartly and the text shaping around him. This shows
he has high importance and is a main part of the page leading the reader to read
the article relating to him.

Masthead
unlike the previous contents pages there is no original masthead from the cover page
to state that this is from ‘rolling stone’ magazine. The contents page mast head is
similarly to the other contents pages positioned at the top middle of the page to
show that all info underneath is part of the contents. It uses large white text to
contrast against the red background which is in keeping with the colour scheme of
rolling stone to make sure the magazine is consistent.

Essential info
similar to the two
previous magazines the
info such as date and
page number is small and
positioned at the bottom
of the page as like in the
other magazines it is
clearly considered as
boring.
Images
there are three images
on this contents page
which together take up
around half of the page
so the reader is quickly
drawn to them. The
middle image could be
the most eye catching
to the reader as it is the
largest but because it is
set in low key lighting
this may not be the case
and if the reader is male
it may be instant for
them to firstly look to
the bright image of the
female. The bottom
image is probably the
least alluring as at first
glance it is not obvious
what it is and then it is
and also it is not
relevant to music so the
reader may be confused
by this if looking at it
before they read the
small amount of detail
on it.
Colour
the colour scheme for this magazine is similar to the first
magazine and is coordinating with the colours all the way
through. The use of only three colours also like the first
magazine makes the page and the whole magazine look
more professional. The colours differ for titles and detail
so the page is clear due to the colours
