Induction: Re-creation of a movie magazine front cover

This was my first time using Photoshop so I found it confusing, also I was more use to using Micromeadia Fireworks which I found really different from photoshop as there was diffrent logos for diffrent tools. Working in layers was helpful but using the colour tools was tricky as there was diffrent tool boxes which controlled colour. I learnt diffrent how to use most of the tool in producing the page such as the marquee tool and eyedropper. I also discovered how to add shadow to text and change the size of the text to the size I want without using selecting the numbers.
