I took inspiration from these 3 magazine contents pages as I liked the look of the sharp lines and the linear format. I took inspiration from these 3 magazines because they struck me as being very easy to read and as if a lot of effort had been put in to them. When I get round to constructing my magazine I want to maintain this effect, so I could probably use the formatting idea of having each of the individual photographs boxed off with a distinct and clear white square boarder. This gives each of the photographs on the page significant emphasis, and by not having any of them overlap, or out of line, it makes the magazine look very professional and high class, even Kerrang Magazine, which is actually targeted at a more working class audience. I also like the fact that NME reinforces the brand on the contents page by having the title printed on here as well as on the front cover, as well as keeping it up to date by putting on the text “THIS WEEK” which lets you know that the magazine that you have bought is the current issue, so the reader gets the feel of being in the know. This is an element that I would like to include when making my media product. The way I will format what is included in my magazine will be the same way in which Icons formats its: with the Features header encasing a page number then the title of the article with a small description beneath.
