The document summarizes the steps taken to design the front cover and contents page of a magazine. For the front cover, the designer used various tools to add the magazine title, logo, image, date, price, and other conventions. Colors and shapes were used to make the text stand out. For the contents page, the designer again followed conventions by adding the title, logo, and listing of features. Photos and cover lines were included to appeal to audiences and their needs. Continuity across pages was established through consistent use of fonts, colors and placement of elements.
