The contents page is nicely split into different stories, the larger articles have a bigger spot. I like this format, however it is not very organised. I would add colours to the boxes.
It follows the code and conventions of contents page, using multiple relevant photos of band and artists. It also shows the week it is relevant for and then the page numbers to find the articles you want to read. I like the fonts and numbers used as they are very easy to read and understand.
However, the colours and style of the cover page do not translate into the contents page as much as other magazines, this is due to NME having a very set template and style for their contents page and does not change that much from issue to issue.
The fonts change throughout the contents page and some very creative and 'arty'. This re enforces the target audience being people who love creative ventures and are quite quirky and do not follow many mainstream trends and themes.
Also, the way the articles are separated is very minimalist which allows the decorative typeface to be accentuated.
Although, I do not like the black and white only. This is NMEs theme but for my own magazine I will have to it more colourful and vibrant to attract the target audience.
