chose TIME because I personally feel if I ever am on a cover of a magazine, I would want to be on the cover of TIME as someone important. I felt like the black and white added a prestigious effect and was a great theme with a gray gradient as the background. I placed myself in front of the title "TIME" to add more perspective. I kept the text colors red and white. I added drop shadows to each body of text so that the white and red letters are much easier to read and are more noticeable. I made 4 long, narrow rectangles and surrounded the image to make a border. I used a banner on the top left and put a drop shadow on that as well.
