As you can see on this magazines contents page they have chosen to use a typical layout convention. The fact that will listings have been placed on the left hand side of the page and that they have used a single image creates a professional tone.
The colours used on the magazine contents page are pretty simple, however they do seem to be helping the magazine sell itself, the use of the colour black on plain white makes the image stand out more. It is also a typical magazine convention to use three colours black, white and red. The white background makes Nas stand out more because of his skin tone.
The image that has been used is an image of Nas and it has been taken as a medium close-up shot. This image appears to have been taken as an active publicity shot as like a press shot or a paparazzi shot, also gives readers the impression that this man is very wealthy.
Nas in this shot is keeping eye contact with the readers helping attract the readers to the information being given on the page. Personally i think XXL have done exceptionally well in attracting the right target audience being Hip-hop lovers due to the fact that the image of Nas has him dressed as a stereotypical Hip-hop artist with him wearing a chain and all. However the image also gives him a sophisticated tone.
