Not sure I'm no expert, but I would say the general meaning is that

"...the concept allows an ambivalent play between the content and design/layout of the page."

the concept allows an ambivalent interplay between form and substance

a little bit more literary perhaps?

play on the intimate connection between the design and the subject of the page

Especially given the magazine's title
Peer comment(s):

neutral chris collister : I don't think that "ambivalence" and "intimate connection" are the same thing at all. What's wrong with ambivalence?

"ambivalence" here has the second meaning from Le Petit Robert: "Caractère de ce qui se présente sous deux aspects cumulatifs, sans qu'il y ait nécessairement opposition." As we all know, "On ne peut pas séparer le fond et la forme."

play on the coexistence of opposing facets in the page's content and layout

*a bit long, I know but it avoids ambivalence!
