Mock Up Music Magazine - Final Cover

Here is my final version of my mock up of Q Music Magazine. I have displayed my mock up next to the original for comparison purposes.

I am quite happy with the final outcome of the cover, as I think, for the most part, I have managed to find similar fonts for the various coverlines, however after closer inspection, I  have still missed some small details, which has made me sure that when I create my own music magazine to not ignore the smaller details. I am happy with the main image, and am pleased with how I managed to use Photoshop to edit out the background and insert a new one, which will be useful if it is a process I need for my own magazine. 

Overall, I am quite pleased with my mock up magazine cover, however I will need to make sure that when I create my own magazine to make sure that I keep track of smaller details, such as which layers various images or text will be featured, as this will have an overall effect of which coverlines and images are displayed on top of others. I found the process of making a mock up of a music magazine very useful because it has helped me understand the codes and conventions better, which I will take into account when going through the process of creating my own music magazine.
