Magazine Cover

1) Save your finished Photoshop magazine cover as a JPEG image and upload it to your evaluation blogpost.

2) Write an evaluation of your work: have you succeeded in your brief to create a new, original edition of an existing magazine?
I think I've successfully managed to portray an XXL magazine cover through the colours used and the general rapper vibes.
3) Put your cover alongside a couple of genuine covers of your chosen magazine. How professional is your work alongside genuine examples?
In terms of the main flash, taglines and the title really share a lot of differences, but the background in the original adds a lot to the actual magazine itself as it makes it look more alive, whereas in my own one it's a plain red that fades towards a darker shade adding very little to the magazine.

4) What is the strongest aspect of your work?
The main flash along with the title.

5) What is the weakest aspect of your Photoshop magazine cover? 
The background as there isn't any pop to it and it's really dull and plain, doesn't add a whole lot to the magazine.

6) What would you do differently if you completed this assignment again?
I would try to create a more interesting background that pops a little more and adds to the overall feel to the magazine cover.
