Beth contents page analysis of 'mixmag' music magazine

MixMag contents page analysis 

I analysed this contents page to get ideas for my own contents page. It has shown me that on this particular magazine not all of the articles are number in order e.g... 1 2 3, they are mixed up and are high numbers it does not even follow a pattern it reads 69, 101 and then 84. This may be seen as confusing to the reader; they will not be able to understand the order of the magazine and would find it more difficult to find the page they want which may be a reason why a potential buyer would go for another music magazine over this one even though they stand out as they are yellow on a dark background. There is a picture of the front cover on the contents page which is interesting and makes the reader remember the front cover, the cover story and probably why they bought the magazine, the colours are similar house style on the cover and on the contents page this shows continuity throughout the magazine. There are not many pictures on this contents page so it is not cluttered and the writing which is in a simple font stands out more.
