What to include in my contents page

Looking into the features of a contents page: 

Key elements:

• contents- normally located on the top left
• cover stories and other stories in the magazine, usually numbered in front of the page title
• a story image, either of a band or solo artist
• some include puffs that advertise pullouts,tourdates ect

What I will include:

By looking at other contents pages, and taking my genre into account i have opted for a simple layout on a double page spread.
I recieved this nidea from Q magazine, as they used a strong image as tyhe back ground and layerd the text onto the spaces around the artist.
Sticking to the retro theme, i will shoot a close up black and white image, and use a less conventional,(yet still appealing to my target audience)font for the body text and headline text.
I will use blacks,whites and greys to appear simple yet bold.
