At the top of the page is a black box with a contrasting bold yellow font so as to make the page more noticeable to the reader and evidently shows them what the page is about; which is the Contents page.
The colour scheme of this page is yellow, black and white with a touch of red at the bottom right corner.
The yellow and black work in reverse of each other which makes the page look more artistic.
Like many magazines, on the left hand corner there is a quick note from the Editor. This is alongside a picture of the front cover. The type of language used is chatty and informal. This is effective 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. It’s considered conventional if at the end the editor signs the note as it builds a friendship between the reader and editor.
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. This is the same with the NME magazine. However it can also look a little bit over done and messy.
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 bold black font to show their importance for the reader to find exactly what they are looking for.
