of how it uses block capitals and the serif text. The serif
font is used throughout the contents page apart from a few
sections which have sans serif text. This highlights the
importance of this text as the capitals draw the readers
attention.
These are the editorial pillars which are the
topics and the subject of other articles. These
editorial pillars, in NME, are separated from
the other article previews and its quite small

The subscription section enables the reader a chance to
get a subscription right to their door. Usually, several
issues are shown in this section to show the reader what
they able to get by subscribing. This box colour seems
to clash with the rest of the table of contents but this
bright colour stands out from the rest so it is far likely
that it will grab the readers attention.

5. I really like the layout of this particular table of contents. I like the
variation of photos and artists featured in the pictures. I like the
subscription box at the bottom right corner, it stands out because
the colours clash with the rest of the contents. I like the title
because its not just repeating the title of the magazine.
The things that I would change would be the amount on the page I
feel the page is too busy with 8 pictures and there doesn’t seem to
be enough room for the rest of the contents (the ‘plus’ section).
Also, I may have added the editors note instead of a picture and
text.

7. This title stands out from the rest of the contents page because of its bright colour and bold lettering.
The serif text makes it stand out from the rest of the double page spread. Having the word ‘contents’
above the table of contents isn't very conventional for a magazine to have but this works because to

This picture is one of three on the double page spread.
This two shot depicts two musicians with the actual
article being about only one of them. The caption on the
top right tells the reader who is in the picture and what
page the article is on. Again, the captions are very
conventional for a table of contents, usually just the
page number that is on the pictures.

9. I like the colour scheme on the table of contents because the attention is
focused on both the pictures and the colourful text. I particularly like the
font as its serif and not design writing as that would draw the readers
attention away from the photos. I like the fact that the magazine doesn’t
just address music but world affairs as well. The fact it uses three pictures
doesn't make the page busy at all.
The only thing that I dislike is that use of the colour yellow to highlight
the articles featured on the front page. The main colour scheme is red
black and white and I feel that the yellow clashes too much which that
scheme.
