Analysis of Contents Pages

Instead of having several images there is one main image on this contents page, the writing doesn’t go over the image, it is down the side. This is the house style that Mojo has, they have the main image and the writing goes around it or down the side of the image in every issue.

The features section is the first section, it includes the name of the feature in bold so it is clear to the reader and then a bit of information, this is a good technique because people know who they are going to read about before they actually read the article.

The cover story section is the next section and that just features one artist but the description which is in smaller writing is a lot larger than the descriptions in the features section.

The number is in the bottom right corner of the page, this is the place were the page number is normally placed on the right pages of the magazine.

This contents page doesn't have a editor's note, this is because an editor's note is not essential on a contents page.

There are several images in this contents page and I think they all bring a different aspect to the contents page, as if to show the readers that there is a story in the magzine for lots of different types of people. They are all arranged very neatly and although there are eight imagaes they don't look like they have been crushed on to the page.
The way that the NME contents page is laid out there isn't a features section but I think you would class all the images and writing underneath the images to be the features section.
There is a plus section which just includes all the articles in the magazine that doesn't have a picture, the fact they are just a plus section gives off the impression that they are not as important or well known as the artists in the images.

The page number would be in the bottom left or right cornerof the page dependent on which side the page was on.
The editor's note is not included on this contents page, the reason again is it is not necessary to have one.
