Induction: Recreation of a movie magazine front cover




This is my first attempt at recreating a magazine cover with photoshop. The simularity is quite poor, as ime not experienced with photoshop editing and i didnt manage to finnish my recreation. I found it hard to manipulate chosen parts of the image between two diffrent layers, and to make my font look simular to the original. I am the kind of person that insists on perfection, so when i found difficulty in doing those simple manipulations i dedicated the time i had in to getting them done, instead of moving on to something else. Bearing that in mind, not all of my efforts went to waste. Copying the bar code over to my image (from the original mag) was quite simple, as all i had to do was cut it out using the rectangular marque tool. Also, i used the brush (and changed its style to oil pastel) to help recreate the effect the magazine had on its spacers inbetween vertical text. I attempted to find the same text that the magazine used as a subtitle but i didnt succeed, so instead i decided to substitute Gill Sans Ultra Bold instead.
