Music Magazine Contents Page Analysis

Masthead -This lets the reader know what page there looking at so when flicking through, especially the contents page would be something most people would want to read. Most likely to be at the top of the page. In a bold serif font with a bold colour too. NME magazine places it's masthead at the top and uses a simple font face but that still manages to be bold and eye catching. This is because of the white and red font on a black background.

Features - Features are again formatted in a listed structure. This is much easier for a reader as it makes finding what you want fast and easy. This magazine has an every month section on its contents page similar to that of the regulars from the first magazine I looked at. This shows the magazine as being consistent and regular.

Layout - The way NME magazine sets out their contents like many other music magazine with a large picture of the image with title from the main page and a list of other articles.

Date - The date of publication is present on the page as it is underneath the masthead and is clear to read.

Contact Details - There is a website URL address for the magazine which will contain contact details but there is not really any contact details.

Images - Over both of the pages there are several images that relate to the list of contents, the main image is the large one of Jay-Z as he is the main image on the front cover.

Page Numbers - Page numbers are situated next to each feature headline. They are in a different colour than the headline itself, but are the same size of the font. There are also a page number on each picture that is related to the list whether it is a feature or a regular; this is situated in the corners of the pictures.
