Induction Re-creating of a movie magazine front cover

In class, we had our first session using Photoshop,we were giving the task to create a movie magazine front cover from the film King Kong. When I first used Photoshop for this task,I struggled to complete the full task because it been so long I used Photoshop, so I was not so familiar with the tools I had to use. Also, I had forgotten most of the techniques that I was thought In my previous school.

The difficulties that I faced in doing this task, At one point I forgot were the text tool bar was, however playing around with Photoshop I started to become little confident,remembered were the basic tools were for example the colour bucket, eraser, and the cropping bar. Another challenge that I faced, was getting the Masthead to go behind the image, I was not to sure on the technique I had to use to place it behind the image.

One of the strengths I was able to overcome was acutely creating my poster. Also using the right colours for the cover lines. looking at the font size I was also able to get mostly all the right size to make it look like the real thing, even though I was not able to download fonts from the internet that suited the same film magazine.

However even though I was not to able to complete this task, to a high standard, I was still able to make it look similar to the original image.
