Less Like A Rubbish Poster

Last lesson we were given the task of learning how to use Photoshop in two hours, being shown the basics by someone who obviously knew what they were doing, but hadn't accounted for the fact that the laptops the rest of the class were using were rubbish. Mine, for instance, decided to go into hibernation halfway through the first hour, losing all the (rubbish) work that I'd done up to that point.

Anyway, I managed to learn a little bit of how to work Photoshop. Google could probably do the rest for me.

This lesson, we're trying to use what we learnt to come up with the front cover for a nature magazine. I just copied a cool-looking picture off the internet, cropped it to fit an A4 sheet of paper, added some words in appropriate colours and mumbled something about "minimalism". Here's the product after about fifteen minutes of work and another fifteen trying to resize and upload the bloody thing;

To be honest, I'm pretty pleased with it already (even if the colour is a bit... purple). It's looking a bit bare though, so some more words advertising the magazine's contents would probably make it look better.

brb lol

The text makes it look less like a rubbish poster and a little more like an actual magazine. Bear in mind that I'm not exactly paying that much attention to what the text actually says, and rather focussing on actually including it. Just to make it look good and stuff.
