This is the magazine i recreated using Indesign.
After placing the picture into indesign i created 2 pages so one could be the cover in exact proportion to my own attempt at the cover.
I first placed the actual cover over where i would be creating my own cover. I used the guide lines to help me navigate where everything was positioned exactly.
After this i tried to find a suitable font for the name of the magazine 'Rolling Stone'. When i found a suitable one i installed the font and started manoeuvring it to fit the exact size of the actual title.
Character styles helped me to do this.
Then to create the shadowed effect i used the drop shadow tool to create the exact angle and depth of the shadow i wanted.
Then i began to do the other texts surrounding the image. After finding the closest font to the original covers i then set character styles. This allowed me to make a pice of text and by clicking the the style i wanted, it would place the exact same effects on the pice of text. This made it a lot faster to build up the cover.
After i had finished doing the text pieces i took a photo to be used for the Adele picture. This was the original picture i took.
I then began to edit the picture in Photoshop to enhance it and make it look more like the original photo on the cover. I used the exposure settings and smoothed her skin to make it appear more like the airbrushed Adele.
I also changed the colour of her eyes from blue to green, so it would be closer to the original picture. I did this by using the brush tool and then changing the opacity so it would look more natural.
This was the picture part way through the editing process.
I then began changing the colour of her skin and the background of my own picture to be better suited to the original.
This is the final version of the picture where i had edited it to allow people to see the similarities between the two.
I then placed it behind the text and this is my final replica of the Rolling Stone Magazine cover.
