Little White Lies Magazine Cover Photoshop Practice

We practiced on photoshop to create something similar to our final magazine cover. Since Little White Lies use graphic art I searched that in and found a nice graphic image of Marilyn Monroe so made up an issue on her and used the conventions from the magazine as a reference.
I've used photoshop for several years so I am confident with it and could easily produce this cover.
When editing I used Marilyn Monroe's signature and then used some pre-font from photoshop to create the title. I also added a puff and used similar colours to the background.

  I went for Little White Lie's more common design that has less text since when I attempted to add text it was difficult to read. From this I have learnt that I will use a dark background so that the colours won't clash and will be easy to read. I will also need to practice actually doing my own art for the cover.
