Analysis of contents page

To give me good idea's on a successful music magazine content page I thought it would be an excellent idea to analyse NME content page from a past magazine. The thing I liked most about this contents page was it kept the same layout that this magazine company usually do. I thought this was a really good idea as customers and readers of this magazine can then get used to the magazine layout and it looks much more professional if things are kept the same, and I also think it would be a lot easier for the company!
Its a shame we are only making one copy ourselves, as if we was doing another I would definetly keep the same layout on my own contents page!
I also like that NME keep the same font throughout this content page, their heading and subheadings are pretty much in the same font and colour which I think attracts the reader as they are drawn to the font they recognise daily. I also like that they have used a colour to add to the background of their subheadings - which makes the subheadings that are white stand out and look clear against the white background and images!
I do not like the images this magazine has included on their contents page as I do not think it looks very professional and I also think it makes the contents page look rather dull and does not look like a lot of thought has gone into it, simply because the image themselves are not very good quality, and they have not added effects to the images to make them look professional!

I also think this content page is successful as they have spaced out all of there headings which I think is what makes a good contents page - not adding too much text so you are unable to read the headings clearly!
