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.
