The contents is used to show the reader the contents of the magazine, things such as, interviews, reviews and articles. The listings in a contents are usually numbered. Or have headings such as the one pictured. The contents features a mast head, allowing the reader to see what is in the issue if the magazine. The colours chosen are the magazines logo colour and also white which can be seen to stand out on a black background.
The main image is of the main article of the magazine, and has a large article title which stands out so the reader can go directly to it. The photo itself stands out from the rest of the page, one reason is because its one of the only photos on the page.
The subheadings for each topic also stand out as they are black boxes with white wording, on the other hand the layout of the boxes makes them stand out more as they are all in a vertical line down the right hand side of the page. The numbers of the pages are also quite bright meaning the stand out (as they are in a red font), at the bottom of the article there is a red arrow, this gives us the image of fresh new gigs and acts to be featured in the near future. Next to the arrow we also have a subscription alert, this is presented using the effect of bright colours on a dark background, again giving the impact of standing out. On the other hand the use of the magazine images in the section also help to draw attention to this section.
On the far left had of the contents there, is a list of band featured in the magazines, this allows the reader to instantly turn to the page with the band/artists of there choice, this would also feature more information of the band for the reader to look at. The band index stands out quite well, as it in red font. This symbolises the new type of acts that are featured within the magazine, it also shows the type of feel the audience has towards the band, an example of this might be the 'Hotness' of the band.
