Contents Page Analysis

This is a contents page from an issue of NME that I purchased. I am using this as an example for my annotation because it is from a hit selling magazine so it is good to see what they do to make their magazine attractive to their audience.
In lesson, we looked at what we would expect to see in a contents page. As a class we said that we would expect to see suitable images and headings that stand out to attract the audience to the main articles advertised. This example of a contents page appears to do that.
The contents page has multiple images that relate to the article that it is put with and there are headings on the page that stand out such as "INSIDE THIS WEEK" which brings attention to the page. Although the page does not look organised, it is to an extent because it is not a chaotic layout.
There is also a competition mentioned on one of the articles, this is another thing that was mentioned as a class, competitions are another thing that as an audience, we would expect to see in a music magazine.

There is a small section on the page with a list of articles on different pages, these do not have related images so therefore are not the more important articles throughout the magazine.
