Final Exercise - Self Portrait Magazine Cover

This is my final project: Self Portrait Magazine Cover. I'm a web designer and wanted to create a web design magazine. The background is HTML code as well as binary code. I used a bar code font for the regular bar code, and found a digital code online for the cell phone scan code. I created the CD using Eye Candy Chrome filter. I chose to use <li>...</li> as the list bullets to keep with the HTML theme.

The only challenge I had was making my photo stand out without looking like a cut out, and leave enough contrast. I originally had a black background, but it was hard to see my hair and dress.
