The contents page of a music magazine uses bold colors and informal language to emphasize the magazine's rebellious and informal approach. The page orients readers to jump to articles on music they want to read first. Pictures accompanying articles convey the tone of those articles, and a large central image highlights an especially important piece. The single-page format presents key information clearly without overwhelming readers.

2. The contents page
The contents hold a laid back approach, its use of bold and bright colours emphasis
the fact that it is a music magazine. Its informal lay also highlights the theme of the
magazine this is also shown in the text used, such as the slang and violent language
giving of a sense of rebellious approach to the magazine; you could not use this for say
a magazine that is giving you information. It’s just orientating the reader in leading
them into the magazine so they can jump to wherever they want to go first. You also
find information on how to win vouchers; this is also a good way of promoting business
using the magazine. The pictures used in the contents page are emphasising the way in
which the article they are attached to has been written. The main image in the middle
of the contents page is more visually orientated to highlight that the article attached is
more important, and holds key factors to which people are interested in and revolve
the magazine around. The contents page in this NME magazine is all on one page
which overall is better as there is not too much information in front of the reader, and
it’s more clearly cut out making it easier to highlight to highest priority of the contents
page.
