The purpose of a contents pages is to give the reader a bit of information of what is inside and where to find it. This is my second analysis of a contents page, this contents page is very neat and is easy to follow what the page consists of are in black and the numbers are in red to make it easy to know what your reading and to navigate through the magazine easily. the writing is split into sections which makes it look neat and tidy. The white background is successful as it does not allow the reader to be distracted and all their focus will be on the text. The main picture is of Astoria which is a club venue. This links in with a music magazine as its where people will go to listen to all the new music. The picture has been anchored underneath the writing. The main three colours are red, white and black these colours mix well and all have a purpose the red id used to make the writing stand out the white is used so the black stands out. The contents page also has a band index for the convenience of the usual reader or for the new reader to look at a band they may have seen on the front cover. The subscription information has a black background so it stands out and the usual buyers would like to subscribe so they save money this is a good tactic to get extra readers because if the buyer thinks they are getting a deal they will buy it. On the contents page it says "the UK's No1 Gig Guide" this will make the reader buy the magazine if they know its the best on the market.
