The purpose of a contents page is to give the reader a small insight into what is going to be inside the magazine. It is suppo
sed to be attractive and informative. It must be as attractive as the front cover and must still contain the generic house style, this means colours, font’s relevant images and stories etc. The colours used in this NME contents page are typical to the magazine as black and white are bold strong colours with the red adding a twist of attitude and a splash of colour. The font is straightforward, to the point and easy to read, no riff raff or messing around – similar to the readers of the magazine. In the middle, there is a piece about Kasabian, which I think is the puff piece displayed on the cover, this is accompanied by a short paragraph on the band, which is luring in their fan base by paying close attention to them. The layout has come across to be organised chaos, loud, all over the place, yet still making sense to the reader – this portrays the general message of rock and indie music, the sound of the magazine. This is divided into six sections to allow easy access for the reader: News, Radar, Reviews, LIVE! , Features and Plus. The font is bold, loud and in capitals throughout. Loud is a very good adjective to describe rock music, so the font choice is well suited.
