The document provides details on the design of an indie/rock music magazine cover and contents page. Key elements included are: 1) The masthead is in an edgy font and overlaps the main image to make a statement. Splashes from the masthead indicate carelessness. 2) The main image is a closeup of a female artist to have them "take over" the cover. Artist name and coverlines are transparently overlaid. 3) Red is used for alertness and is a popular indie/rock color. A flash shape adds intrigue. 4) The contents page features multiple images and captions. The masthead and editors note add professionalism. A pull quote
