The document summarizes the steps taken to design a magazine front cover in Photoshop. Key elements were added including a masthead at the top using a bold font, cutting out a subject's head to layer over the masthead, adding rectangular shapes for background layers, and positioning text elements like the skyline, barcode, date, price, and coverlines using various tools. The main headline was also given a background shape with lowered opacity and stylistic text formatting to make the artist name stand out.
