Front cover
This magazine cover features Fergie as the model. She is positioned above the masthead to portray her as a bigger star than the magazine.

Bold fonts are used to draw the reader's eye to important headlines and taglines, such as Fergie's name and the list of the "209 best songs of 2007." The only flaw is that the price is not clearly displayed.
