## A worked example

Hypothetical decision: a journal buyer wants to see its weekly grid. A real sample spread answers that question while a cover mockup only shows the binding and artwork.

## What this can and cannot decide

A cover mockup does not prove paper, binding quality or interior content. Use pages you have permission to preview.

Keep source files separately. Your entries stay in this browser page and are included only in the file you choose to download. Reloading the page clears this worksheet.
