1) The front cover document describes the progress made on designing the front cover of a magazine. Photoshop techniques like resizing, enhancing colors, and adding effects were used to integrate the main image with the masthead text. 2) Further color and lighting adjustments were made to leaves in the background using tools like color balance, photo filters, and grayscale to add visual interest. 3) The masthead text size was reduced to avoid bleeding off the edge of the image. Additional image sections were blended in naturally using blur and smudge tools.

1. FRONT COVER PROGRESS:
1) The beginningof the frontcoverprogressconsistedof the mainimage beingstretchedatthe
