At the top of the page the name of the magazine is shown as it looks on the front cover; the audience will always see the 'NME' logo and will remember it when they see it again, they have familiarised themselves with the 'NME' logo. The logo and the text for the contents is large and bold and will be the first thing the audience sees, it has to be eye catching, appealing and will have to compliment the colour scheme. Everything throughout the contents page is ordered and neat and this is more appealing to the gaze of the audience. The image of the main band and the page it features on is dominant on the page, this band may have been shown on the front cover and could be the reason why the audience bought it. The index on the left side of the page is for the audience to know what pages the stories are on. The picture in the middle looks as if it were taken by a fan, the audience can definitely relate to this as they are fans themselves, they would happen to take a lot of photos during concerts and this type of picture will draw them in. The language used can be seen as the sort used by teens, with words like tunes to represent songs and informal text. At the bottom right of the contents page is another showcase of the magazine trying to show the reader one of its more interesting articles, keeping the audience notified about cool features in their magazine. The colour scheme for this page is red, white and black, flashy or vibrant colours don't fit the genre that this magazine is based around (rock), it compliments it with red possibly meaning danger. The editor has also included a large subscription notice at the bottom of the page, this way the audience can continue to read their magazines, it has been made to stand out with the use of yellow and white on black.
