Contents Page Analysis

This contents page follows the majority of codes and conventions that the average NME contents page does. It has a white background which is clearly visible as the pictures and text do not take up the whole page. It has one central image that is larger than the others, possibly highlighting this article for its important or how reader friendly the article may be. The style of this contents page is artistically simple. The articles the editor thinks the reader will be more interested in are bigger than the less appealing ones. The title and page numbers are in a very clear font avoiding confusion and making it more reader friendly. The extra articles shown in the ‘plus’ section are big enough to be eye-catching and bare some importance, but does not take focus away from the main featured articles. If my magazine was going to be done in the style model of NME I would use this bare background, the large clear writing and the same or a similar placement of images to get a similar effect.
