The document outlines codes and conventions for designing the cover of a music magazine, including using a large primary image of the featured artist looking directly at the reader, 2-3 supporting images, limiting colors to 3-4 bold hues without clashes, and including 5-7 sublines of text promoting the artist and other content in bold fonts and titles placed in the background behind the images. Small details like release dates, prices, and promotions for free gifts or other artists should also be included.
