After, deconstructing front covers and double page spreads, I decided it would be a good idea to look at the type of layout and presentations of contents pages aswell, to help me further with creating my own music contents page for my magazine.
{ This contents page, is very different to those I have ever seen. As you can see the page numbers are placed right at the bottom of the page, rather that the usual layout of columns up and down the page. This contents page also uses a colour pallette of monochrome. This is a clever technique to use as the white stands out against black. With this contents page they have divided the page into thirds, e.g. 'CONTENTS' is right accross the top, there is an image of a skater on a skateboard and right at the bottom of the page is the page numbers (contents of the magazine).
{ This uses a similar technique of thirds, except that it could be argued that it runs both ways. e.g. Going horizontally, we have in the top third 'FEB08 CONTENTS' and in the middle is all the text and at the bottom is an image. Going vertically, we have the three different columns of text. Similarally, a monochrome technique is used for the same effect that it stands out, e.g. white background with black bold letters on top to create contrast.

{ This magazine also uses the thirds technique, going horizontally. This contents page uses alot of images around the text.. its almost like its being used as a border, perhaps? Because there is no obvious 'contents' title, I assume that the magazine is called, 'KINGSIZE', as it written in bold capital letters. i also assume that it is a music magazine, as all of the images look as though they are images of music artists/bands.
