Magazine cover. The title "Portal" is written in bold capital letters, all of them bright orange except the "o", which is white. The artwork on the cover is a painting with a mixture of deep blues and more vibrant, lighter blues that swirl, evoking water. There are some brush strokes that look like drops of water falling, and occasional golden strokes as well.
