Well, I'm definitely creating my Magazine cover from scratch. I figured this would be a challenge this season and I've looked multiple times for magazine covers featuring Maria.
I hate the pose on her Playboy cover and I get accused of being "hoochie" as it is, already, so that one's out. We just did the "black and white" Photo Shoot two rounds ago and I want to move a little bit away from "looking like a wrestler" so the WWE cover is out.
I actually really like her on the Steppin' Out magazine cover, but there is no picture of her on that cover that isn't low quality, so I can't use it. Even if there was a good quality version, I feel like I can make a better cover than that one.
What I'm thinking of using this round is actually a picture I almost submitted last round. I asked my roommate (who's a graphic designer) about the picture and I said "Only drawback is I feel this is a Sport Illustrated magazine cover rather than a summer Photo Shoot". He agreed and said the picture was very "Sports Illustrated".
So, I think I'll be using this picture and create a magazine cover around it. It'll be my most ambitious undertaking, yet. So far, all I've done with PhotoShop is turn a picture black and white the first round and then last round there was an airplane in the background of my picture that I managed to remove and replace with more sky.
I am still going to do more research to make sure this is the best route for me to take this round, but I feel like I could make this look like an authentic Sports Illustrated magazine cover and that would probably be my best route.
