The "banner" placed at the top of the page includes the magazine title and the date of which NME issue was released. As the magazine promotes 'NME This Week', it indicates that there is a new edition of NME released every week. The contents page is quite "busy" and textual around the main images in the centre of the page. Two medium-sized images are placed in the centre, but there isn't any blank spaces or many gaps to break up the text. As opposed to the contents page I analysed previously, there is not enough whitespace in order for the reader to comprehend easily.
The main pictures are accompanied by a small cut of information that is in bigger font than the text surrounding it, giving the readers some extra information about UK gigs/tours, and how they were received/reviewed. The bigger text draws more attention and entices the reader to want to see more. On the left hand side of the page there is a column of red text that goes all the way down the page, which is the "band index". It lists all the bands that are featured in the issue, as well as on which page people will be able to find them, allowing the readers to find bands that interest them and read that article with little effort, as they don't have to go through the whole magazine to look for artists that may interest them. The fact that the list is in red text makes it stand out from the rest of the page, and in respect, boasts and advertises the fact that there is a band list to make the reading more enjoyable. The right hand side of the page presents all of the main articles in the magazine. Each one has been categorised into different aspects in which they fit. This shows that even though the contents page is "busy", it is organized. It also would help the audience to look at the articles in which they are more interested in. The contents page includes arrows to highlight the articles featured on the front page making it easier to find articles that may have compelled the reader to NME magazine. There is also a box of information at the bottom of the page about subscribing to NME with details. The text is in a yellow font to help draw attention to the advert in contrast to the red and black usual colourscheme.
