The contents page's colour scheme does not entirely match the front cover. This time, an accent colour of yellow is used as well as red, over the black and white. Yellow and black is a symbolism of danger - in the real world there are lots of signs and products which are yellow and black (see 'Colour Representation').Half of the contents page is made up of a black and white image of a famous rock star. He is wearing a plain black leather jacket and has black hair. The background is also black. This works easily with the colour scheme, and also creates a typical rock genre feel. He is off-centre, towards the right of the image, and text and other images have been layered over the plain black part on the left.
The title 'CONTENTS' is fairly large, bold and yellow. Again the font is crackly, like the on the front cover. Under this is the issue number and date, clearly marked out. The white box surrounding this separates it from the rest of the page.
Under this, again like on the front cover, are images of posters with white borders. Next to these are also the page number and a similar symbol marking the fact that it is a cover story. There is also a grey sign with the cover line on it, in between the posters. The text is almost as large as the word 'contents' to show importance and catch the reader's eye. A spider has been layered onto the sign also, this is another symbolism of danger and death - many people are frightened of spiders.
The second half of the contents page is filled with cover lines and page numbers. The black strip has the masthead layered over it followed by 'THIS WEEK' in a yellow crackled font. This acts a title and helps o seperate the two halves of the page.
On the left at the bottom is a message from the editor who introduces the issue and comments on the main features article.
The contents are organised into three columns and are numbered by red characters, the same size and font as the text next to them. There are various headings which are the same crackly yellow font, over a black rectangle. They are as follows:
- Feedback
- News
- Win!
- Live Reviews
- Features
- Album Reviews
- Gig Guide
- The K! Quiz
Next to some of the article names there is a symbol which consists of a red circle under a black star and white text which says 'COVER STORY'. This helps the reader to go straight to a particular page if they were interested in something on the front cover.
On the right is a black text box which almost looks like a blackboard. There is blue shape over it, similar to the shape in the top half of the page, used for the title of this section. This could have been done like the rest of the contents page, however the black text box creates a more interesting layout, which isn't so structured and boring - rock music does not follow a strict set of rules.
On the right hand corner are images of three Kerrang! front covers and a half red, half black shape, promoting a discount on deliveries.
