Inspiration for contents page

This is a contents page from Kerrang Magazine. The layout is simple and organised yet still looks visually appealing and the various conventions used make it obvious it belongs to a music magazine. The contents page has brought through the same basic colour scheme and fonts used on the front page which ensures consistency and makes it more effective. I particuarly like the way the feature listings have been organised with the main story in a big box with a image and the other stories down the side in a column and around the main image. The page is broke up by headings and sub headings with clear page numbers to make it easy to find which feature you want to read.

This is a contents page from Kerrang Magazine. The colour scheme is similar to the one above meaning the brand is easily recogniseable by its colour pallette yet still looks appealing. Although the layout of the page looks different to the other one the basic set up is quite similar. The main story being given a big space with an image then the smaller stories being organised in a seperate column. The clear headings, sub headings and page numbers have been used again.

This is a contents page from NME. The colour scheme is mainly red but inkeeps with the theme of NME making the brand easily recogniseable aswell as sticking to music magazine conventions. The layout is similar to that of kerrangs however down the right hand side theres a band index telling you what pages you can find features about your favourite band.

After looking at these contents pages I have decided that the colours and fonts I use on the front cover I will bring through to the contents page, I like the layout of the Kerrang magazine contents pages and would like to use a smilar one in my magazine.
