This is a contents page for NME magazine, It is a very busy page compared to my other magazine. It has all the basic information on it for example the page numbers, images and a brief summery of what you would find on that page. But then it has an added extra what they call a 'band index' this is where it shows all the bands that are featured inside and the pages that you can find them on.
The main image in the middle is of Kasabian who have a main featuring article in this issue. The image shows them in a relaxed environment with there instruments. This gives the reader an instant feel that this is an easy read magazine and that you don't have to worry about reading it in to much detail. The colours in the image have all been set up to sound the same colour scheme to show a calming effect.
They have made it easier for the reader by putting sub headings down the side so you can find exactly what part you want to read. Again giving the reader the sense that this magazine is easy and uncomplicated. There is also a red arrow down the bottom to indicate something that the reader would be interested in to then let the reader skip straight to page that they would be most interested.
There is a big bold advertisement down the bottom with the use of yellow writing so it is clearly seen by the reader. They would want people to subscribe to the magazine so they have a guaranteed circulation figure each week.
They have a bold title on the contents page that uses the words 'this week' this encourages us that its new information each week unlike some magazines that just repeat some of the stories as they don't have enough stories. Although some would say that this layout is a messy, it shows the reader that it is jam packed with information.
