L: The language features on this contents page are very simple. The main two colours are black, red and white. The masthead (NME) is in the traditional colours of the magazine which is red, and the title which states labels the page as the contents page is in white. The majority of the rest of the page is in a black font, including the sell line telling the reader that the section about the Arctic Monkeys is on page 45. A bold font is used for the title so it stands out to the reader and grabs their attention and then a slightly smaller font is used for the titles at the side like 'News', 'Reviews'and 'Features'. This is so the reader knows were to look to find those particular sections and they can find them quickly. The bold picture is of the Arctic Monkeys playing live and it was probably not especially taken for NME it would just have been taken at one of their concerts. It is placed in the centre of the contents page and this stands out to the reader and they will look and see what the picture is about. At the bottom of the contents page is a section advertising to the reader to subscribe to NME and they will only have to pay £1.49 for it, thus making the reader read NME every week.
I: IPC Media produce NME Magazine, this is a media production company based in the UK. It produces over 85 different magazines. For example lad mags like 'Nuts' and fashion magazines like 'Look'
I: The contents page of the magazine doesn't give off a particular ideology. It doesn't really give any views or beliefs like rebellion or rock and roll it seems to be more just about the music and the music only. This is expressed by the picture used. It is of the Arctic Monkeys playing live and it's not a picture which had been particularly shot to give off a certain ideology. For example in other magazines there might be a picture of someone to show they are a rebel. NME is quite an independent magazine so it wouldn't have to give off any mainstream opinions or beliefs.
A: The audience for NME is mainly males aged 17-24. 70 percent of the audience are males so that is clearly the majority. Most people who read NME have good income jobs which allows them to afford the magazine when it comes out each month.
R: The main focus of this contents page is to tell the reader what page different sections of the magazine are on. The page also advertises the article about the Arctic Monkeys and it advertises the section about subscribing to the magazine.
