NME - New Musical Express
'Q' MAGAZINE
The same as the front covers, the contents pages of those two magazines apply the well established conventions.
'Q' contents pages are very clear and universal, they are easy to read - we can easily pick up the main features of the issue. It is conventional that they include page numbering to every headline, they also include pictures and the 'print screens' of some pages to attract to those particular articles by a visual appeal. The colour are limited, the same as it was done on the front cover. The magazine's coverage is divided into two pages, one with special features and one withe the regulars. The layout is well balanced to draw our attention mainly to the photos.
NME's contents page is much more hectic than 'Q' ones, and it draws our focus mainly to the special features. There are no regulars, however on the left there is a list of bands with the page numbering - as NME focuses on bands. Different to 'Q' NME includes two adverts, one about subscription and one about NME awards. However it also includes the 'print screens' of the double spreads, I believe that is one of the conventions within the contents pages.
