The document discusses conventions for magazine front covers and interior pages. It analyzes examples and provides guidelines. Front covers typically feature the masthead, cover lines in large sans-serif font, and a central large image. Interior pages use columns, photos and captions on the right, headings in large sans-serif, and follow the rule of thirds. Double page spreads center a large image with text wrapping around and the title at top left.
