I will use an NME contents page to help me follow the conventions and create an example in InDesign to practise.
I have chosen this image because of it's strong variety of images and headers, it also has adverts for other products and images of covers from previous magazines.
It also carries on the use of the house style from the front cover.
The strong emphasis on quotes from the articles also shows a confidence in the articles within.
