You’re a SuperModel
Read the Your A Super Model Vogue Magazine Cover Adobe Photoshop Tutorial showing you exactly how to create a magazine cover with you as the supermodel. It involves a camera, lighting effects, and much more. This can be used as a portfolio piece if taken seriously. It will show off your talents in how to design text around images and you might even find a new love for photography. Which is a lucrative freelance side business.
