The contents page uses a simple layout and color scheme to easily guide readers. It includes three large images indicating main articles, issue number and date, page titles with brief summaries, and contact information. Recycling signs promote environmental friendliness. While the "table of contents" title is non-traditional, the gray banner clarifies it is the title, and pictures follow conventions to entice readers. Overall it provides essential details about the magazine's content in an accessible format.
