NME - contents page - artic monkeys analysis

I like the use of a band index on the left , helping the reader navigate through the magazine but also makes the magazine look more interesting, by having loads of bands names.
The use of having icons to show which stories are related to the front cover, are becoming a common theme into my research of indie music magazine contents pages.So may consider using them on my own magazine.
I like how there is a main picture with a description which is bigger than the rest. However this page lacks images, which may be a good idea so that its not too bombarded but also more pictures could be more aesthetically appealing.
I like how its ordered with different sections, and how the numbers are different colours to the title/description text.
There is a subscription section too, which is something I should consider in my own magazine, especially if have spare space on my contents page. 
I will use the subscribe section in my own magazine.

Double page spread -(2) NME - Mark Ronson

Double page spread NME - Mark Ronson  I like how the title spreads across two pages and may consider to do this for my own magazine page.I feel like it is a good way to bring all the conventions of the page together and links them e.g the image, title, and text. It also is good as it makes the reader look at both pages therefore catching their eye, due to them having to read the title from one side of the page to the other. I would like to pick out a piece of the interview and put the letters in bold and a bigger size, something of interest or a statement. I like how the image takes up a whole page and has props that are interesting and relate to the title.E,g - hammer- relates to the revenge.

Contents page -(1) just magazine

Contents page- Just a magazine (unknown)   I like the use of imagery and horizontal across two pages.With the images above the titles od each section in the magazine. Im not entirely sure but the images may be relating to one of the titles from each column. I like this idea and it gives a simplistic, yet arty feel to the page. I like how the contents gows across teo pages as it dosent feel as squashed, and comes across artistic in this way.Also it is different to standard layout making it alternative which could relate to the music genre I am focusinf on (Indie).I may use this in my own magazine

Double page spread - (1) NME - lana del rey

Double page spread - NME   This double page spread has the image on the left and writing including title on the right.This is a pretty average layout, however still looks stylish.  The colour of the image is black and white, which is simple but makes the eye concentrated to the image. I like the colour of the light blue, its refreshing and stands out.However the colours are not particularly exciting in the way they have been lain out on the page.
