This is the contents page for an issue of NME magazine. A good contents page has to be well presented, well organised, helpful and full of information. This contents page meets these targets as it gives a lot of information but is still well presented and tidy. The contents page has key features that are vital to its sauces. It separates each article into sections, for example. News, Radar, Reviews, Live and Features. This helps the reader to understand all the articles and chose which one he/she is interested in.
There is also a band index, this is a list of all the bands that this issue will feature, this is located on the left hand side of the page. The information about these bands could be about gigs or new albums, although the contents page has a big band index, it does not give any information about the bands featured in the list, it is just a listing of bands and artists.
There is always a main article on the contents page which is the main story in the magazine, it often gives a little bit of information about the story but not much, this could influence the reader to read the short article and then want to read the rest which is in the magazine.
Adverts are very popular in magazines as it is an easy way to advertise product as millions of people buy magazines every day, there is usually an advert on the contents page as there is here. the advert can be related to anything but is usually related to the genre of magazine, e.g advertising tickets to a gig or merchandise for a band.
