The magazine cover features an attractive image of Beyoncé Knowles as the main image. The large eye-catching title "Blender" is in an orange, display font with some letters obscured by the image to create brand recognition. The main sell-line in the same font, positioned in the bottom left corner, promotes an article titled "In Bed with Beyoncé". Additional information includes the slogan "The Ultimate Guide to Music and More", dates, featured artists, and a humorous reference to Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z.
