Practise Magazine Front cover

This is my practise magazine front cover. I have tried to emulate the one on the right hand side and I created the one on the left hand side. 

The last two weeks I have been working on trying to emulate the magazine front cover on the right hand side. I took a picture of a friend in my class and down loaded it on to photo shop. I learned how to use different effects which took me a long time. If I had more time I would spend more time on the actual picture by touching it up. I would also spend more time on the title of the magazine as I believe it doesn't stand out as much as the title on the right hand side.

I found out that it is easier to edit a picture if it has a plain background. Therefore for my actual photo shoot I will shoot it in a studio with a one color background.  I also think it looks more professional and stands out more if it is in black and white therefore I think I will use a plain white back drop as it will make the picture stand out. I will use three letters as my magazine title as I think this worked really well and is easy for readers to recognise. I like it how the magazine front cover on the right hand side has stuck to two colors, and I think I will also use this. For my actual photo shoot I will use better lighting to catch the shapes of the persons face.
