The contents page has quite a simple and easy to understand layout, which is quite unstereotypical of NME as their magazines are usually very overcrowded with no space left on the page. It has a masthead at the top of the page so that the audience knows that the page is the contents page. Then underneath it has a series of pictures that are relevant to the different stories throughout the magazine, along with captions or small story lines to tell you what that particular feature is about. Also in the bottom right corner it has a big advert for the magazine itself trying to make the people who’ve bought the magazine to subscribe to NME. The advert tells them that they will save £46 over the year which is an incentive for the customers to do this, this will also help the magazine get more customers and more money. The advert is put in red because it is in a weak fallow area and also they want customers to see it so the magazine has put this advert in red because red catches the eye first so this is the first thing customers will see.
