The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover in several steps. First, the creator chose the "Aspire" font for the masthead because it is easy to read without being bold. A different font with a star for the letter "A" was found and considered for the logo. Effects like drop shadows, inner shadows, and outer glows were added to make the masthead stand out. Colors were experimented with and blue was selected to match the calm genre of music. Cover lines were added to complete the design of the finished front cover.
