to the front cover image, it is the

There are page numbers
next to the features on
most contents pages so
the audience are able to
easily find the page that
they are looking for, the
numbers are usually a
different colour to the
text so they stand out.

different to the ones on the front page, the
reader can find out what the magazine is about.

There are small images on the
contents page which are called
subsidiary images, they show
what will be inside the magazine
and they are small so they don't
take the attention off the main

The words contents stands
as it is in a unique font
from the other text on the

the top of the page so
when the audience look
through the magazine they
can easily find it.
