Dominant image – The dominant image is in its own and it doesn't serve to be a background for anything else. Instead is it just to show imagery for the main article and by placing it on its own with a white contrasting border, it stands out more and draws more attention from the reader.

Title -The title not only includes the name and purpose of the page (‘contents’) but it has the magazine name again to again refer back to the brand to help create loyal readers. The writing is in sharp and big, capitalised writing in red and white against a black background which makes it stand out even more and grab more readers attention.

Article details and references -This is what the actual page is used for, each article in the magazine is listed and put into categories as to what they are about. They are then briefly explained and it is said what page they are on. This is set out neatly and is organised to make it easy for the reader to look through and find the article they want to read.

Main article description –This is also in its own section and has a fairly large and clear writing to ensure people can easily read it. It also has the article title in bold and the page number in a different colour to make each feature prominent and obvious. It is almost as large as the image itself, drawing more attention to it.

Other articles – These other articles don’t necessarily apply to any category and they aren't that important to the magazine yet they still need to be referenced so they have been put underneath in much smaller font.

Advert – This magazine has an advert on their page. It is designed by others but the magazine has a say in where it goes, so they have put it towards the bottom against a white background to make it stand out yet still be out of the way. They need to make it quite large as they are paid to advertise this and make it clear.
