This is the December 2011 issue of DJ music magazine. In the image on the left we can see the contents page which can be used by magazines as a lure to encourage readers to continue reading the magazine.This contents page has been organised into three main columns with a strapline saying 'Contents'. The contents page uses a majority of text in sans-serif font with some use of serif font. The graphics on this page appear to be faded and slightly blury which adds a mystery and interest to the layout of the page and the information on it. The images used on this page look dated and follow one genre of music which gives the audience an idea of the type of music which will be found inside the magazine. This page is well organised with its layout and the colours which it uses. We can see a colour scheme in the first two columns which emphasises the information on each page. This content page differs to usual magazines as it has several focus points split by the columns 'Focuses' 'Comin' up' 'On the floor' 'Music' and 'Tech'. Readers are able to find quickly which section they would like to read in the magazine and what is in this section. The magazine uses several features, these are a great way of attracting readers. This content page has an indirect mode of address as it doesn't have a large use of words such as 'You' and 'I' which are usually key methods of attracting the audience to read specific articles and pages.The images used on the contents page reflect the genre of music which this magazine represents. The images allow us to have an idea of what we can expect from the contents of certain pages in the magazine, for example the two pictures labelled 64 and 140 using celebrity faces. They show lots of energy, movement and colour which relates to Dance music. e.g. the DJ decks which appear to jump out of their frame and into the contents page this exaggerates the atmosphere and liveliness of this music genre.
