I was looking at the seventeen cover and I thoguht-I bet they hire people to design the cover-so I thoguht, "Why not try it?" It doesn't look that great but I think it's cool.
Here it is:

haha that's cute.
The only thing I was say would be to change the font you used to type "Beautiful" (Scriptina I think?). It's kinda hard to read because it's so thin and curly.
Also maybe find a higher quality image, the one you used it kinda blurry.
Other than that, I really like it _smile.gif

It's pretty cool in my opinion. I like all of the fonts that you chose to use.

Wow thatks guys I didn't think I get so many compliments-and pigo thanks, this month's cover had a curly font so I thought it might look good if I used scriptina but now I see it might have looked better if I used something a bit more simple _smile.gif

I don't really like the curly fonts (scriptina and curlz).
The rest is awesome, nonetheless.

The hot pink doesen't really belong, and I don't like that you wrote over her lips. But the other things are ok.

That's really creative! I just think it could be more organized. The word "beautiful" is too scattered across her face. And a higher quality picture and better fonts would be better. But I like the idea. Good job =]

OMG. That looks so cool. I want to try, but I think it'll end up crappy compared to yours. :( The only thing I would change is the size, cause it's a bit too big. And the font hurts my eyes, unless you were going for a Valentine incorporated theme.

thats a really cool idea and i like how the cover wuold attract attention b/c the fonts r so."fun-loving" but i dont really like the placemnt of the text..it goes over her face..so its kinda distrating..and it also looks a bit disorganized like that..but otherwise its a very attention grabbing cover

The font (Scriptina) goes over her face way too much. Now that I look at it again, all of the fonts go over her face too much. The fonts should frame the face, not overtake it. And while the porportion you chose for the picture is great, the quality isn't.

^LOL thats because her face is the whole picture =P jk
haha anyways =O whoever said pink and red match! [well theres an exception for valentines day] hahah. you can tell you resized the pic.. cuz its bad quality. its pretty different from the many magazine covers ive seen. never really witnessed such curly font haha but thats your theme, so i guess its ok. everything is really random =( like the placement and the many fonts and the beautiful is to big. its like a second title of sumthing. its very creative tho. you can def tell its a magazine cover. its very unique and cute too happy.gif

scriptina is overused, and it doesn't really match the entire picture.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Anyways, the text on the cover shouldn't mention Ashlee Simpson that much. What magazine does that? Or maybe I'm wrong. Don't matter.

I agree, the word "Beautiful" is to big and it kinda blockes her face.
A better qulity choice for the picture would be nice.
Everything else is awsome.

It's very nice, I'd have to say. There are some things that I'd recommend, however.
1. The Seventeen magazines usually do not consist of a neon colored top border like you have in the hot pink. It takes a bit away from the magazine color as it doesn't exactly match.
2. The Seventeen font has a slight border around it, as well as the other red fonts. I'd suggest that the border be replaced with a slight shadow, it may make the fonts look smoother. You could even try for an outer glow if you work with Adobe PS.
3. Seventeen magazines a lot of times have the main features of the face showing. The script over the mouth is a bit distracting.
4. The word fragnences should be spelled fragrances, if that's what you wanted implied.

Overall, great job! Keep it up!

Its.. okay. It could be better. I just think that it could be a little bit more organized. I dont like Scripta font or whatever its called.

3 fonts max, please.
The scriptina, yeah, not great...


If anything really bugs me, it's the 5 bagillion fonts.

The picture isn't that fuzzy rolleyes.gif
