Contents pages typically feature the magazine's masthead at the top and include a series of smaller images of celebrities alongside page numbers for each article. However, it is becoming more common to center a large image related to a featured article. The list of articles is grouped under standard section headings. Images on contents pages usually make direct eye contact with readers to engage them, though this page breaks that convention. Non-verbal elements communicate more to audiences than the written words alone.
