Photoshop First Attempt

This image above is my first attempt on creating a front cover on photoshop. I only spent a short amount of time on this front cover, as you can probably tell this was my first go on photoshop. I will place the original image below so you can compare the differences. I have only added a few things such as the banner style and Masthead, i added these to get used to doing this for my real magazine as theses are essential on magazine front covers. I found this task manageable yet some of this task for example putting the Masthead behind the image, which I will do for my real magazine, I found difficult as I couldn't achieve this task so I had to ask Neil.
