The document discusses layout decisions for a magazine cover and contents page. It explains that the main cover image will be larger than others to make it stand out as the most important article. A contents page will list stories and their corresponding pages for easy navigation. Multiple smaller images will be used on the front page to avoid crowding with text and create visual interest without overwhelming the large main cover image. Consistency in color scheme and masthead placement keeps the design professional and on-brand.

I want things to be as professional as possible and this is why I’m always using the same colour scheme and also the same layout for the
masthead wherever I use it. I didn’t mention before but I’m using multiple images on my front page, but once again, not as big as the
