First thing's first, do you have a reason you're not using Interface
Builder for this?

So far, so good. Except that you're going to wind up leaking subView
because you +alloc it, then hand it off to the content view and never
release it. The static analyzer should have warned you about this.

This is unnecessary. You might as well just keep using the subView variable.

This is not how views are drawn in Cocoa. Please read the Cocoa
Drawing Guide: http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaDrawingGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html
