I started by importing a photo and cutting out the background to use as the artist on the magazine cover. I added elements like the masthead, cover lines, and flasher to begin designing the cover layout. I tested different effects and fonts to style these elements. Ensuring the spacing and alignment of the cover lines, I added the main story title related to the artist as the focal point. To finish, I included additional details like the issue number, date, and barcode, checking that all elements were properly aligned according to design principles.
