Notes and Research on Music Magazines Contents Page

I looked at some magazines and researched on how many pages, photos music magazines contains and also how the contents page is organised:

No. of photograph that’s in the contents page: 1-11 photos
Pages that magazines contains: 71-218 pages
How different magazine contents page is organised:

Q: The contents page is organised with most of the information on the left hand side of the page with one big photograph of a man and a woman on the right and the word 'Contents' is situated at the top. The information is split into two sections, 'Features' and 'Every Month' and the contents page runs onto another with one more section 'Review'.

Ker rang: The contents page is organised so that the photographs are placed on the left and take up approximately 3/4 of the page. Page numbers are mentioned on the right hand side, and occupy only a very small area suggesting that words are less important to a Kerrang reader than images.

MOJO: The MOJO magazine I looked at features two contents page, the first features a whole page background image of Frank Zappa with page numbers in red and white on the right hand side in a collumn. The second contents page features 8 photographs on the left of the page, with writing in black (on a white background) which identifies the various features through the magazine.
