Research into similar product - contents pages

I have decided to look at a Kerrang Magazine contentents page, as my own magazine will take example from Kerrang Magazine as it is a famous Rock magazine with a target audience of younger people.

I really like this contents page for several reasons. First of all, i like the use of a few of secondary images on the page. These help the reader visualise things, and help them see what the article is about without having to go to the page. I like the use of the picture of a double page spread also as it shows the reader what they can expect, and it encourages the reader to move on. I also like the main, bigger picture of the main article about Bring Me The Horizon as it creates cohesion and gives the reader an insight into what they can find in the magazine. Furthermore, the use of the Kerrang logo on the contents page also creates cohesion, and reminds the reader what magazine they are reading. I like that the words 'contents' and 'this week' are in the same colour as they link and point out what can be find in the particular issue of the magazine. I would also like my magazine to have similar features as it would look like a realistic and professional magazine.
