I chose popular science because of the cool images and wacky subjects they have on the cover, as seen above. Everything -but- the spider is from popular science magazine covers. The spider may be an article in one of the magazine but was not a cover picture. Tools that I used: magic eraser/magic wand (just for erasing edges and insides of letters, like "O" and "B"), Move tool, free-transform, paint bucket, eye-dropper, and most importantly, the blur and sharpen tools. Having the picture too blur looked very bad, but having crisp, clear letters looked unreal. So I sharpened everything but the "this is a 3-D cover" and the "plus: 50 hot products..." as they were enlarged from smaller version magazines. The two that I didn't sharpen, I blurred because, while coming from smaller version magazines, they still stayed sharp after free-transforming. So I blurred them a little to blend with the other fonts and pictures.
