The above image is my attempt at recreating a music magazine front cover. My skills in image editing has grown seven fold compared to when I started in AS. For example in the bottom left hand corner, the yellow box is zagged and uneven. This took some creative thinking to pull off. The original box was edited using masks and multiple layers then exported into the main PSD file to create the effect. Another example is the font used. The font used for 'FOO FIGHTERS' didn't have the black outline around it. So to successfully complete the task I had to edit the FX and add drop shadow. The drop shadow is set at 75% with 100% opacity so that the black stands out like on the original.
Strengths
- I really like the font I used for 'foo fighters' and how I edited it to match the second image.
- The colors and placement of everything is just like the original.
- All fonts used are very similar to the original. This makes it look interesting.
- The images I sourced are very similar to the original.
Weaknesses
- The main image is too long and it doesn't look right.
- The NME logo doesn't look anything like the original. This is because I couldn't replicate it/didn't have the knowledge on how to do it.
Conclusion
Overall I think my recreation turned out really good. With only limited knowledge of photoshop I think I done a really good job. This been said, its far from perfect and could be improved.
