The contents page - it's full title being 'Table of Contents' - is used to list all or some of the parts of a book or document in the order of which specific parts appear. These usually include numbers of where each of these sections start - in a magazine it would be the page number on which the specific article starts. A magazine never lists every single article included in a magazine on it's table of contents, but instead usually lists the ones that are thought to be the most appealing/interesting for the reader. They are also sectioned into 'features' 'regulars' and sometimes 'on the cover' so that the reader can find articles that are specifically advertised.
A magazines contents page usually fits the colour scheme of the front cover, so that it is obvious they relate to one another, but also to again catch the audiences eye. It'll also include images that relate to specific articles and features in the magazine. These often include large page numbers displayed on the images so that it is obvious where to find the article about the specific image.
