Magazine cover draft 1

After redoing my photoshoot, i began to create my magazine cover. I was using the Variety power of youth cover for inspiration as i have planned to use the halves of Casey face and my face. I also wanted to add bits of information about the magazine on the cover to bring it to life a bit more and provide the audience with more information.

I am editing the cover on photoshop and so far I have cut out the background of the pictures and layered them together so that Casey and I are next to each other. I used rulers and lines so I knew that the two images were in proportion and also so I knew it was equally split in the middle. I had to brighten Casey's face because the brightness was different and too dark. I also found the Variety logo and put it in position. I think it looks good in front of Casey and slightly behind me as this is conventional to magazines to have the logo embedded into the picture. 

I still need to tweak the images in regards to blemishes etc, as well as add the rest of my text. I would like to add a bit of colour to the poster, so I might do this with the text.
