The document describes the steps taken to design a magazine cover in Photoshop. These steps include choosing fonts, sizes, and colors for the masthead and skyline. Additional elements like artist names, cover lines, boxes, and a barcode were added in various positions using selection and transformation tools. Effects like outer and inner glows were applied to the artist photo and background layers to polish the professional and stylish look of the cover design.
