The ability to know how to program/use a text editor/use photoshop
can only help you with the technical difficulties in making a
professional cover and style. Not more.

Each LaTeX document looks slighlty different. But overall they are
extremely easy to classify as a LaTeX document. And why? The
distances and parameters are all given so it looks "right" and there
is no reason to change them.
