This contents page shares many of the same features as classical NME front covers and contents. The colours black, red and white are used which is typical of NME as these are their trademark colours. The colours red and black denote passion, love and darkness. Typical trates of indie music which will relate to readers. The white is used mainly in the background to make the black and red stand out and catch the readers eye. At the top of the page. Again the masthead is at the top of the page slightly towards the left as it is on NME's front covers. Next to this in bold white writing is 'THIS WEEK'. This catches the readers eye and signifies that this is the contents page as the job of a contents is to inform the readers what will feature. Also below this is smaller font is the magazine date to let the reader know what issue it is. All this is written on a black background as the colours red and white contrast to catch the readers eye. The page is cleverly divided into three sections as is most NME contents pages. Down the left hand side there is the a column for all the bands that will feature in this issue. This is called the 'BAND INDEX'. Again, black bold writing is used to catch the readers eye. All the bands and artists that will feature are written in red and the pages which they will feature are in black. This is continuity of NME using the same colours over and over. In the centre of the magazine is the main image of the band Kasabian playing live. The reader knows this because of the headline just below the photo. A short paragraph about the band follows to inform the reader regarding the photo. "The moment that..." is a feature of NME contents that has been used before. Down the righthand side is a list of what the magazine will feature by story rather than by what band. It has been divided into a NEWS, RADAR, REVIEWS, LIVE!, FEATURES and a plus section. There are tags of 'ON THE COVER' next to the stories that are on the cover. This helps the reader find the stories that induced them to buy the magazine in the first place. At the bottom of the page is an offer to subscribe to NME and save money. Different colours have been used in this section to catch the viewers eye. This offer is a way of drawing potiential customers to buying the magazine and to boost sales revenue.
