Kerrang Uses pictures more than text. It runs the text along the bottom, but the pictures in the middle, this is to catch the readers eyes, and advertise to them what's inside

It carries on the house style from the front cover by using the drawing theme with the title and it uses arrows on the pictures to let the reader know what page the article/interview is on.

This contents page feels like a collage, with different

photos fitted together. I like the use of mix media, with fonts, drawings and tape.

NME’s contents page is a list in alphabetical order of what’s inside with the page number next to it.

This doesn’t advertise to the reader what’s inside.

NME may do this to use up all the space for their articles.

Q uses both text and pictures, it has the text framing the photos, they use reversed out style for the numbers so the reader knows instantly what page its on. It is a simple design, the text looks boxed, with the photos overlapping other photos and running onto the text.

It gives more information about articles and interviews, than the previous two. It uses red to underline the titles on each page, to draw the eye as red is a bold colour. It carries on the style from the front cover.
