The document describes the layout and design elements used consistently across issues of the TV Choice magazine cover. Key elements include the "TV Choice" logo always positioned in the top left corner, stories advertised along the bottom with colorful effects, overlapping photography to create depth, and a tagline that uses the brand's signature red and yellow colors and runs across the width of the cover below center. A repeated layout is implemented to make each issue recognizable as the brand, such as a "new" story in the upper right corner and dates in white banner in the top left.
