The contents masthead is in the same style has the front cover masthead, therefore readers are familiar with the colour scheme, causing brand identity.

By looking at different magazines I have found that they all use different ways to separate the front cover articles and the normal articles. For my magazine, I changed the colour of certain articles from white, to blue, in order to establish if they are a cover story or not.

I have included the name of my magazine at the bottom for brand recognition.

Different sections are numbered with large numbers and a red stroke around the letter. This makes it easier for the reader to navigate to the correct page.

I have used six heading, which by researching into different contents pages; I have found that these are suitable because they offer an incentive to carry on reading, for example the second section offers readers a chance to win a PS3.
