The contents page of Mixmag magazine uses a combination of images and text laid out with a white-on-black design. The main image is of Lady Gaga, and all images featured are of female artists only. Included as a free gift is a Duck Sauce CD containing 15 tracks to encourage readers to purchase the magazine. Brief descriptions of features like artist interviews and event reviews aim to preview the magazine's content and appeal to the target youth audience interested in music culture.
