Overall I think that I did ok for a first try. But I do think that if this was put in as my real magazine cover for my coursework I think this would get a very poor grade.
I'll talk about what I like first. I like the picture I found of Michael Jackson, even if its a picture and not a photo. I am proud of some of the edits I did such as the background colour change and thats it, everything else on this work doesn't look good at all.
What is mainly wrong with it is that it doesn't look like a professionally made cover at all. Then again this was just a practice session for me to get used to the software.
In terms of what I could have done better in, is that the fonts for the masthead and cover lines could have been more varied and I could have use different colours to make them stand out. As it is it is barely readable.
The cover in general looks rather bland, as it doesn't have a lot going for it. There isn't anything outstanding on there that looks interesting. However the purpose of this task was to for me to try out Photoshop and try to get used to it, I will try to improve on this and get better, I will use different fonts and colours appropriately, I will use a background that fits and I will try to use up time effectively.
