“A 3-artboard magazine cover SYSTEM (210x276mm, 3mm bleed, CMYK, 300dpi) for a fictional independent design-and-culture quarterly "OFFRAME No.06 · Spring" — three sibling covers on one shared masthead grid, NOT a feature well. Palette: Ink CMYK(0,0,0,96), Bone CMYK(3,3,8,0), Electric CMYK(72,12,0,0). Fonts: Archivo Black (masthead + cover words — the constant), Space Mono (issue line, coverlines, barcode). Shared masthead grid on every board: wordmark "OFFRAME" (Archivo Black ~40, x16,y18,w178,letterSpacing1), issue line "No. 06 · SPRING 2027" (Space Mono 9, x16,y52,tracked,upper), a 0.4 rule x16,y60,w178, and a hand-built rect barcode block (a Bone panel x150,y246,w44,h22 with ~15 thin Ink bars and a Space Mono code beneath). Board 1 Cover A Photographic: full-bleed image (assetUrl "templates/shared/placeholder-workspace.jpg", fit fill), Ink masthead scrim (top, alpha0.5) + Ink lower scrim (from y176, alpha0.6), Bone masthead, coverline "THE MAKERS ISSUE" (Space Mono 9, Electric, x16,y196,tracked) and cover word "HANDS" (Archivo Black ~72, Bone, x16,y206) plus a two-line Space Mono coverline stack. Board 2 Cover B Type: solid Ink field, Bone masthead, one enormous cover word "OFF" (Archivo Black ~180, Electric, x40,y120,autoSize auto-width, bleeding off the right edge) with three Space Mono coverlines stacked lower-left ("On making in public", "A field of blue-collar craft", "The quiet economy of repair"). Board 3 Cover C Color-field: solid Electric field, Ink masthead, cover words two lines "QUIET"/"RIOT" (Archivo Black ~86, Bone, x16,y150,lineHeight0.9) with a Space Mono coverline in Ink — the same grid inverted to show the system's range. Group each board as Masthead / Cover field / Coverlines / Barcode; name every element. The covers vary treatment but never move the masthead lockup. Author STRICTLY incrementally — a valid single-board skeleton first, then one Edit per board, re-validating each.”
