The document describes the process of designing a magazine cover in 4 steps. The designer started with an A4 canvas and added a front cover image. They then added a masthead with a stroke to make the text stand out, and began adding shapes. Next, all the cover lines including the main title were added, along with shapes, price, barcode, and issue date. Finally, a standfirst and footer with the names of featured bands were included, completing the final front cover design.
