My Music Magazine Mock Up

To create my magazine i had to;

I had to find a magazine i wanted to copy and re-create.
I then used http://www.dafont.com/ to find a font type that best fitted the origional font used on the origional magazine cover.
Then i found a colour that was most like the origional colour of the background and then set it as my background.
I had to then add the star shapes to the cover.
The photo was hard to take because of the outfit i had to choose, i managed to get a close as the origional outfit as possible without it being too revealing, i also had to find an old film camera for the model to hold over her shoulder, and to also get the body language and structer right to match the origional cover.
The hardest part was re-creating the masthead, because i had to add the arrow onto the top of the U.
At the end of re-creating the magazine, the last thing i had to do was to possition the text perfectly, as it was on the origional magazine with Ciara on it.

Strengths

The font is almost exactly the same as the origional font.
The body language and pose is the same as the origional image.
The positioning of the text is the same as the positioning on the origional image.

Weaknesses

I think the editing on the main image could of been done better, and more carefully.
The colour of the background needed to be a mixture of white and pink in some areas however i couldn't create that.
I didn't know how to create the flash coming off the film camera, i think that would of made the magazine better.
