I used this poster (The Evening Standard) as it is a special edition of the newspaper and as my newspaper will be a special edition as it will be the first I thought it would be a good comparison to have and also a good way to know how to create a similar looing newspaper.
I then went on the internet to find the image which was used on the original poster as I would be unable to recreate the exact same image. I then pasted into Photoshop and stretched the image to make it fit, however when I did this it seemed to be over stretched and so I stretched the image until I thought it to be the right width and height and then I copied part of the image on the right hand side and placed it behind the image so that the model didn't look overstretched. Then by using the 'erasor' tool I made it look like it was the same image, as well as copying smaller parts from the left hand side to make it again look like the same image. I also used the smudge tool to make the copied layers blend into one image. For the black shadowing behind the text I used the 'brush' tool, selecting black and changing the opacity on it so it didn't completely obsure the image, so that you were able to read the text infront of the layer but also to imitate the original poster.
For the logo I was unable to recreate the image and so I went on Google and pasted it into Photoshop editing out the white background by using the 'magic wand tool'.
