From a decision about magazine covers: "None of the individual elements [...] ordinary lines, typefaces, and colors — qualifies for copyright protection. But the distinctive arrangement and layout of those elements is entitled to protection as a graphic work." http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3745368693852483793&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr http://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=3745368693852483...
