All contents pages have picture inserts, with either a border or without, although a border is placed more often then not. The pictures are used to associate with page numbers and in turn interest the viewer. There are usually three different types of titles in contents covers, the main title at the top, the secondary title which is placed to separate between contents or additional information or text, and the actual titles that describe the contents.
For each page number there is lots of text to describe what’s happening on that page, this is done to keep the viewer interested. It’s usually a summary so the contents page doesn’t get crowded but it still informs the viewer.
All titles are either serif or sans serif and bold so they can be easily distinguished from the informative text, with interesting features applying the magazines colour scheme of red, to ensure that it is seen as different or special.
The contents page, like the main page also seems to have a “main” picture that takes up lots of space on the cover.
My favourite contents page is probably the “DRUMMER” one because it is simple, but also interesting because of the way the page numbers are laid out, the symbols used and the font used. Again I think I would prefer to do something less cluttered then KERRANG with a more Q approach.
