The document discusses draft magazine cover designs. It proposes a minimalist left page with a large full-page image of the cover subject holding a guitar to draw attention. The masthead would be aligned small on the left with the price and barcode on the bottom right. This layout focuses attention on the picture while still conveying the magazine's identity and previewing the musical article contents in an indie style.
