This is the Contents Page of a NME magazine.
The features are numbered which correspond to the number of the picture this is effective as it gives the reader a taste of what is to to come without giving to much away forcing the reader to read on.
Small subheadings are used and these are shown in a plain black colour font, to show their importance by using subheadings and dividing the magazine up they have made it much easier for the reader to find exactly what they are looking for. This is an important convention for a contents page.
Readers do not want to be wasting valuable reading time on finding out what page a specific article is on. Therefore by dividing it all up they are getting rid of the risk of confusion and time wasting.
The images are dominant on this contents page, this is positive as it give the reader a lot to look at and take in whilst looking attractive and not dull by just having all text, however it can also look a little bit over done and messy; but also this reflects to the theme of the NME as they like their work to be messy and not neat.
In this magazines contents page, there is no editors comment. I believe that it is more effective if there is one as it relates to the target audience and offers a more personal approach to the reader as they feel they can connect and relate to how the editor is writing.
