•All the pictures on the contents page have numbers on them to anchor the picture

•Contents pages always have a persistent colour scheme (normally white and black) to keep it simple to read

•The contents page always has a layout of columns, usually 3 or 4 for more space for images and to keep finding the page your looking for easier

•On the bottom of the contents page is normally the magazines website address / contact details
