The document summarizes the typical layout and design elements of a magazine contents page. It normally includes the masthead, a large main image, section headings for regular and featured stories, page numbers, a color scheme consistent with the cover, font sizes around 11-12 points, credits for images and contributors, contact or subscription information, and an editor's letter. The main image spans multiple columns and links to a double page article spread.
