The NME's contents page contains lots of images and different elements which as a quick glance would make the magazine more exciting. They have promotional offers on brighter areas also which draws attention to them. The text is all roughly the same size however the more important information is in a slightly more quirky font & is usually capitalised.
The language used makes the magazine seem more fun and laid back, which is what their target audience want, unlike a newspaper which required proper english and no profanity. However the piece of information centred in the page says 'Pete Doberty said to me, You're fucked , you need to go to bed' which is quite possibly the least professional quote they could have used.
Similarly for XXL they used the use of images to attract the readers attention. This particular contents page is a small list of text alongside another picture of the supposed person on the cover of the magazine.
The header text is in a modern font which is very true to the audience, they like things to be new and fresh, however the rest of the text is very swirly and calligraphic which is still appealing but looks more like a restaurant menu rather than a magazines contents page. I repeat, it is still attractive. The text is more professional and do not allow profanity, the quotes are more interesting than the NME's however are not as large so you are not likely to read them as you are to read the NME's.
