The date is just underneath the title, which you can clearly see contrasting with a black box. This is important because the audience will be expecting an update on their favorite artist

• The layout of the contents page is very clear as you straightway know what where things are placed as its displayed very professionally and isn’t messy.
• At the top the title dominates that whole row which is important as it’s the name of the magazine and also to know that this is the content page. On the left is a list of artists that appeal to the genre and to the audience, the middle section is of an artist that discusses what she’s been up to lately and on the right side is what will be included in the magazine, what articles will be featured.
