The contents page of Uncut magazine is laid out in quite an orderly manner; again adopting the conventional black, white and red colour scheme. The images used seem to obtain quite an archaic style which is evident through the black and white colouring of the images and also through the aesthetics of the groups featured within the images; they wear fairly outmoded/vintage clothing accompanies by "old school" hair styles. This connotes that Uncut magazine is keen to convey and provide readers with an insightful knowledge of established artists from antecedent eras, the music that they produced, and the most prominent ideologies and attitudes during the apparent time period; this is where uncut magazine is evidently contrastive to other music magazines such as Top Of The Pops where only current artists of the Pop music genre are featured.
All aspects and features of the contents page have their own allocated and sectioned areas; all information can be found in it's own specific place which is prominent in each issue, therefore readers become aware of the magazine's "house-style". The contents page also features a letter from the editor of Uncut magazine, which, along with the image, is the most prominent aspect of the page. The careful placing of the editor's letter on the far right hand side indicates it's importance or relevance to the ideologies presented by the magazine, connoting that the editor's personal opinion is extremely influential over the contents of the magazine and the ideas and attitudes portrayed by various features within the magazine.
