The document provides instructions for laying out a magazine cover and contents page in Adobe InDesign. It describes placing the masthead and slogan at the top using the rectangle tool to create a line. It then details adding three pictures, with the largest being the cover story model, and using the rectangle tool and formatting tools to make section headings. Page numbers are also added, as well as completing regulars and features sections with consistent formatting for headlines, summaries and page numbers.
