The title helps to set a trend for the running colour theme of grey and black throughout the contents page; the yellow within this theme helps to create a plain and sophisticated base colour. The grey colour has stereotypical connotations of expense as it connotes a luxury when put against other light colours. It contrasts with the very dark and strong colour of black, which varies its self with an genre but can be used very well with the hip-hop/ R’N’B genre. The sophisticated font used within the contents page also helps to neutralise the bold stereotypical look of hip hop, this could have been done to appeal to a mass audience as it is a much more generic font in comparison to the usual niche font a hip hop magazine would use.

Moreover the contents page also has an editorial which introduces the magazine and gives a more personal approach for the reader.
