Contents Page.

Yet again the brand name of NME is located in the top left corner of the page and is still coloured red, which in turn establishes the magazine. The biggest font used in the contents is located at the top of the page and introduces what to expect "This week" this is almost used as a title to create an introduction to the contents and is therefore the first thing that you read.

The seperate sub catagories are used with white on black to make them stand out, it also makes it the reverse of the title which was black on white. As they are black boxes on a white background they stand out more and the bigger font means that they would be read before the information about the articles which are located directly under the sub-catagories. There is also the use of only one main picture on the contents page, which wierdly has nothing to do with the front cover. This allows readers more idea of what to expect in magazine (such as what articles there are.) The reason that this photo wouldn't be used on the front cover is because the person isn't looking directly at the camera. Yet the photo does consist of a lot of energy as it is an action in a live event, an event that a lot of the NME readers would have went to, Glastenbury. Yet NME use the word "Glasto" which only NME readers would relate thus aiming at its specific target audience.

The colour format is largely the same as that of the front cover, this keeps the format of NME the same in each issue and provides similarities with the cover in order to do so. Yet the layout of the contents seems to be more formal than that of the front cover due to the use of columns down the right hand side. There are many types of font and font size in the contents. This means that each different article is personalised and neither one of them looks the same. This represemts the diverse articles the NME publishes, which is what atracts the reader.
