When you look at this magazine you cant help but look at the big main picture which is a constant theme of this 'vibe' magazine. it draws your eye straight to the page with a simplistic background and a constrasting picture. none of the text is overlapping the image which shows what is important on the page and this contents page uses space well.

the masthead of this magazine is quite small but effective as it is the largest text and bold and has a fragmented structure which is also a constant feature of this magazine. all of the text is black and all links together well.
The main feature of this contents page is the huge picture which grabs the readers eye straight away especially if male. this picture also works around the text so that no overlaps are needed. the background is of a neutral silvery colour which helps the picture stand out.

The masthead of this contents page is large to make it obvious where you are in the magazine. it is white, bold and in capital letters to help it stand out but keeps it simplistic. The structure of the word 'contents' is unusual and fragmented which helps it fit on the page and this also helps it stand out. the sub headings of this page are black and bigger than the text so you know where they are but they dont look too over the top.

the overall presentation of this contents page is sophisticated and simplistic with one picture, simplistic black, white and silver colour scheme and very simple fonts which i think works very well for this magazine.
