Make a 3:4 portrait literary magazine cover titled “Teian / on the desk”.

Use warm gray off-white old paper, charcoal-black text and large blocks of vermilion collage; break the masthead “Teian” across the left side in oversized Mincho type, and add the month, issue number and a bookstore-style column index; place a vertical feature headline at the upper right.

In the lower middle, an anonymous reader holds an open old book whose pages cover most of the face; the figure interlocks with a newspaper coat, a paper-cut cat, an origami bird and irregular red color blocks.

Keep the overall feel of a Showa-era vintage magazine, with cool negative space and a rough paper-collage texture.
