This contents page for Indie music magazine "Artrocker" is very simple with a moody atmosphere being given off by the dark tones and neon style text. The colour scheme used here is that of black, white, magenta and light blue. The font used in "Contents" and the blue and magenta text connote to neon lighting, combining with the darker tones of the page to create a dark 'club-like' atmosphere and represent the Indie genre that this magazine covers.
Article names are ordering i a natural descending by page number with titles and sections in magenta and subheadings listed in white bullet points. There is no strong separation of section between the article titles and the images merge with the next with no page title to distinguish which article they are referring too, this creates a natural and 'homemade' feel to reading this page. However, the images underuse their potential as they do not attract attention to particular articles, this may be intentional as to show no favouritism and differ from the normality of mainstream music.
One noticeable aspect of the page is the credits column that occupies a noticeable portion of the left hand side, however the stark white colouration separates it from the rest of the page, this emphasis on the credits page show that this magazine is very 'human' and that care has been put into its creation.
