The Rock sounds contents page is in two columns. It has the text running down the left hand side, in a clear, sans serif font on a white background. The right hand side of the page has a red background with reversed-out text. This features pictures giving further detail of the content of the magazine, accompanied by relevant page numbers in a large, red font.
The largest and therefore most prominent picture on the picture features two men staring directly into the camera and the other covering his eyes. The man at the forefront of the image is wearing dark eye make-up and holding a finger to his mouth. This connotes telling someone to be quiet, or to keep a secret. The man on the right hand side is wearing a top with a cross on it, connoting religion or a statement of identity. It could also be suggesting that he is part of some sort of group as the cross is surrounded by what looks like a badge or an emblem shape. 
In terms of layout, this contents page has a fairly simplistic design, making it easy for the audience to find what the are looking for. However it is still entertaining and keeps it's certain 'edge' by including various images that connote attitude and confidence.
'Art Rocker' uses a similar layout style to 'Rock Sound' by splitting the page in two through the use of colour. The main body of text is featured on the left hand side, where there is a white background with a black, sans serif font, whilst the right hand side is more heavily laden with images and has a black background with white, green and yellow font.
