The document provides layout ideas for a film magazine cover. It recommends including a skyline to draw in the audience, a masthead located in the top center in bold colors, the main film image linked and overlapping with the anchorage title and text, and sell lines in bold colors and fonts to promote the issue's features. The layout should use conventional design elements for film magazines to effectively promote the magazine to its audience.
