codes and conventions of a magazine contents page

I compared a selection of magazine contents pages to get an idea of the common codes and conventions.
I found that they contain:

• an editors letter and photo
• a date which is usually found at the bottom
• name if the magazine which is the same as on the front cover.
• breakdown of the magazine into the page numbers.
• contains around 7-8 photos that are not just of people.
• there are around 5-7 types of font present on the contents page.
• graphics are included to break up the page
• the images used use direct address
• the colour scheme used is the same as the front cover
• there is also information on the magazine in order for the reader to contact them by.
• the photots have article numbers by them showing which story they link to.
• the whole contents page is organised into columns.
• the subheadings are also in bold or have graphics behind them to make them stand out.
