Contents research

I chose a contents from an NME magazine for ideas and inspiration for my own magazine. I like this contents page as I think it is original and interesting. I like how NME have highlighted the best stories, reviews, and news. I also like how it looks neat and organised making it look more sophisticated. The thing I like about it best is how they have used more imagery than words which I think makes the contents page more vibrant and interesting.

The pictures range from just pictures of the artists on their own or people performing on stage. This gives a mixed idea of what is in the magazine, is it a gossip magazine just focusing on the artists lives or is it all about the music?
