Well I didn't ask, but thanks? By suggestions I meant, Does anyone have another magazine cover they'd like me to so skillfully reproduce with my son's picture? Guess I'll just go crawl in a hole now, or study Nerd's Guide to Fonts..

The first block of text needs to be done in a white typeface without the glow and a san-serif font needs to be used as is standard. But get rid of Arial, it's been done--many many times. I believe Impact is preferred here. Also the date in the top right corner is blurred a bit with the JPEG conversion and resizing. You're missing volume info as well in the top left red border. Also, your kid's head is supposed to go in front of the TIME magazine masthead. And not to be too picky, but TIME doesn't have a glow, but a drop shadow. Also, your red is a little off the actual hue used. Nice try on matching the true font of the word TIME, too. For a better look at the magazine, see www.time.com
