My Jarvis Cocker Photoshop Trial

I have produced my own trial of a magazine front cover using the original image of Jarvis Cocker. I done this to understand the basic tools of photoshop so when it came to me creating my own, I would be able to easily, because I know what each tool does. I added a mint green background to add colour to the product instead of the purple that was used in the original shot. The main thing I found difficult to do was putting the masthead behind the image of Jarvis Cocker to make it look more like a magazine front cover and give it more of a 3D effect, but this problem was fixed when I changed the blend mode to normal and not on dark as it was previously. I added where I would put my sell line on the cover, my cover line and the where the information on the banner would be placed. I placed the barcode in the bottom right hand corner, because the bottom right hand corner is where the costumer will last look and the barcode will include the things like the price and the issue number.  I also found trouble getting the barcode to actually show up on my magazine front cover.
