We have also covered the codes and conventions of a contents page in the same lesson on the 22nd of September. Below are the codes and conventions of a music magazines contents page;

- Images advertise the story within the magazine, they usually have small captions containing a short description of the story.

- The contents page is commonly divided in to columns.

- There is limited text, what text there is a small size this is to fit all the text in, and this means the images are more eye catching to keep the reader interested.

- The page number is with the illustration.

- The page numbers are usually before the title of the story.

- Usually one large image, this large image is the double page spread.

- Storys are not listed in chronological order.
