This is a contents page taken from KERRANG! magazine. This issue in particular is the 'Awards Special' and this is pointed out as the main feature by use of the largest image, similar to what it does on the cover.
Every article has been marked with a page number very clearly, the main articles have a caption alongside their page numbers while other sections on the right hand side do not, however they are noted underneath subtitles to make things easier for the reader.
At the top right of the page there is a black box containing the word 'Contents' to make things as obvious as possible for the reader, alerting them not to flick straight past this page, this is something I will definitely include in my work. The images showing the main articles is also a must and I should make sure to include as many articles as possible on the right hand side that all suit my magazine and it's target audience but also appear to show some diversity.
There is an editors section at the top of the page with a small base of text and a signature from the editor himself. This is something I could include but I think is not imperative to the magazine.
I should however be sure to feature the date and possibly the issue number as this is something seen on every contents page in the magazine genre.

I will do my best to follow the conventions mentioned concerning this magazine in my own piece.
