Contents page examples

I'm now starting work on my contents page, so I need to look at examples. 

For instance this 'Forgotten Path' contents page is monochrome, to fit the black metal audience. There also seems to be one photo only, of a dark and ambiguous forest area, which matches my photo shoots.
My second example, SPIN, has got one large figure, taking up the length of the page, with high contrast and the main text is dark, with things like quotes and interest points are in the house fonts.
The third example is of a esquire which has large numbers and many photos to draw the target audience, styled in an interesting way.
