I looked at the NME magazine contents page, instead of using the usual "contents" at the top of the page NME use "inside this week". This doesnt follow the typical conventions of a magazine contents title. In a weekly magazine the typical amount of pages is around 70 and in a monthly it is 140. There are alot of images used in the contencts page, NME follow a consistant house style of colours and layouts througout all of the magazines produced. The main focus on the contents page isn't the lead story that is shown on the cover of the magazine which shows more stories in the magazine. In all contents pages there are subscription information on how to subsribe and sometimes free gifts available when you sign up to a subsription, with the subscrition information there are usually some original images of the front cover of the magazine. At the bottom on the contents page there is a "word from the editor" sharing information on what is in the magazine and the editors thoughts on this weeks magazine.
This is a first draft of my double page spread, I used text from www.lipsum.com , when I create the final contents page I am going to use an interview with the girlband but the text will be in the same layout. The image used for my double page spread here is not the image I will be using for the final one but I struggled to get an image as one of the girls on the cover was not available to take photographs of for my contents page. 
In my final draft there will be more photos of artists and more page information. I think that I would also change the colour of the background as the text and images do not look very good against this background. I used "This week" at the top of the page instead of 'contents', I used this title as I saw it in the NME magazines and thought that it would work better with my magazine contents page.
