## The signature moment: one cover story leads a printed issue of three

A magazine hero with a featured cover story and two secondary stories in a static issue layout. The base carries this composition through scale, image placement and rules. The styled variation restores the Designed kind’s palette and its system face while keeping every block editable.

## What the buyer gets

The Designed kind’s example copy and reviewed public images. Replace the examples in the editor, along with placeholder action URLs.

## What it inherits from your theme

The base inherits colour and typeface. Body text uses a medium rung and aims at 4.5:1 contrast; display text at 3:1. The stated variation sets both ground and text.

## Responsive composition

The columns stack on a phone, keeping images with their text. Review the 1920, 1280, 820 and 390 pixel sheets.

## What you change first

Replace the images and the copy, then set the action URLs. Duplicate or remove a complete person or story group where needed.

## Included images
