The document summarizes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in Photoshop. The designer cut out an image using the magic wand tool, chose complementary colors for the cover lines and title, positioned the main cover line in the center above the image, and added smaller cover lines and other details like the publication date, edition number, and barcode. The final cover included only 4 colors, spread out the cover lines without overlapping the image, and used formatting like drop shadows and boxes to make elements like the title and featured lines stand out.
