Contents page analysis

This contents page, taken from DRUMMER magazine is set out, as I would expect most magazine contents pages.
Of course, all contents pages must provide the page number to each article, but it is not uncommon to find images linking to articles, and the features split up (there is a regular column).

This magazine keeps it simple with a theme or red-orange, white and black which is just like any page in a magazine; Each page or double page spread will have a colour theme.

The images in this contents page are also listed in the 'features' bit, so it seems that these articles are the most important or at least the most attractive. The bigger the picture, the more important.

Like you'd expect, the title is 'contents' but the date is not always shown on the contents page.
