Vibe have used a different approach to their contents page, using a large image. This image diverts the readers attention to the contents page, the three men shown in the image suggests that they are a music band who are featured in this issue of vibe magazine. The use of this image may be to make the audience want to read about them and refer to the contents page to find out how. 

     The colours used are black, white and red, the red stands out showing the magazine masthead and taglines. The use of black and white is effective as it may represent different emotion and perhaps music genre. Vibe magazine may also like to keep their magazine more formal and less 'messy' such as NME and KERRANG magazine. 

     There is little text used in this contents page, this may attract to more readers as some are put off by large amounts of text which is used by magazines such as NME, who unlike Vibe list many types of styles readers can search for certain information in the magazine. Vibe has steered away from this and just summerised information into certain groups making it simpler and easier for readers to find certain pages. 

     The design for this contents is unusual as it features the front cover on the contents. This is perhaps to remind readers what they wanted to buy the magazine for and help them find what page they would like to read? The image also takes up the majority of the page, using small amounts of text shown at the top of the page, this perhaps is targetted to a younger audience who may be put of reading large amounts of text.
