The document describes the 6 stages of development of a magazine front cover design project. In stage 1, a border was added around a black and white photo with colored record labels. Stage 2 added a barcode, price, date and adjusted the record labels. Stage 3 made the border and barcode smaller to allow more photo space. Stage 4 changed the photo and masthead based on feedback. Stage 5 added cover lines and adjusted layout. Stage 6 finalized touches like additional cover line text and changing colors for clarity.
