The Kerrang contents page basically matches the front cover with the colour schemes. The contents is positioned at the top left hand side of the page in a non serif bright yellow font. Kerrang's contents page has a rather large picture in the top half of the page of an artist, 'Show me the Horizon' signing autographs. This is a mid shot. In the bottom half of the page there is the actual contents information! What is on the pages etc. The title is 'Kerrang! This Week'. The writing is done in a non serif font. Kerrang is white and This week is yellow. The yellow colour matches the other writing such as sub headings for the story's inside the magazine and the title contents. This represents that yellow and white are the colour of the Kerrang magazines. The sub headings and story's below are in columns along the bottom half of the page. There is five pictures in total on the contents page, mainly very small compared to the main picture of 'Show me the Horizon'. These pictures show who are going to be featured in the following pages and gives you a sneak peak of what the page will look like. In the bottom right there is a small picture of three magazines, these magazines are ones that have already been released that the Kerrang editors would want their viewers to take a look at. On the opposite side there is a column written by one of the editors of the Kerrang magazine. This column is positioned in the same place every week.
The NME contents page is called NME This Week. The font is non serif and is exactly the as the word NME on the front cover. Bold red writing to stand out and again catch the readers attention. Next to the title there is a column with the same 'Band Index', then a list of band names and what page they are going to be on. The only picture on this page is a wide shot of the band Kasabian and below the picture is the first little bit of their interview that is further in the magazine. The picture and cover line of the Kasabian story match very well as they are pictured inside a church and their article is about 'The moment Kasabian got romantic in a church'. On the following side of the page down a column there are sub headings of what else is going to be featured in the magazine. These sub headings are in a non serif font with white as their colour and a black background so the headings stand out. Below the half article of Kasabian there is a box of subscription details on the magazine. The background of the box is black, this bring out the bright yellow writing to advertise the offer and then the white writing that explains what to do. The font is non serif and extremely visible. Sitting next to the information box there is a thick red arrow pointing towards the other page. The information inside the arrow says 'The UK's no 1 gig guide starts page 58'. This lets the reader know about stuff that will be near the end of the magazine so they can skip a few pages.
Q's magazine contents page is very simple. The logo of Q is in the top left hand corner and placed next to that is the word 'Contents' in a white non serif font on a black background, therefore the title stands out. Down the left hand side theres a white column of all the page numbers and what is on them pages. The title of that column is 'features' created in white non serif writing on a bright red background. The page numbers is red and information is black writing on a white background, it doesn't stand out as much as the other writing. Below the column is a section of whats on every month in the magazine. Again in a white non serif font on a red background lets the title 'Every month' stand out. Placed next to the features column is a very large wide shot of the band 'The Courteeners'. The background of the photo goes with the colour of a review on the bottom of the page. The colour is a misty blue. The reviews title has the Q logo in red then 'Review in white non serif writing on a black background, this catches the readers attention. Below the title review there is a wide shot of a character standing next to a podium. To show that the photo is related to the writing, the black background of the review goes along the top of the photo and section of writing. The background of the writing has the misty blue look, and small bold black subheadings or questions.
The contents page of Kerrang uses a colour scheme of black, yellow and misty blue. The yellow writing on the black background helps catch readers attention as the colours stand out. Down the right side of the page is a column of the page numbers and what will be featured on them pages. The subheading are in yellow with a black background. On the oppcite side of the page there are nine pictures of different bands and below these pictures are the page numbers and titles of the storys on the pages. The page numbers are in yellow writing with a black background matching the other subheadings. A magazine review from an editor sits at the top left corner of the page. Black writing on a white background, next to the paragraph theres a small picture of the Kerrang magazine. On the bottom right hand side of the apge there is subscription information on how to get Kerrang delivered to your front door. A non serif white font lting on a red background.
