Help on making certain graphics.

I'm not sure if I'm in the right forum but it said you can ask questions so that's why I'm posting in the Graphic Check.

With Photoshop 6, is it possible to edit a newspaper in appearance? What I mean is grab a picture of the front cover of a newspaper (or magazine) and add your own text and images (still making it look realistic). This might just be as simple as taking a form of experimenting to find out and I know Photoshop is capable on doing a task like this, I just don't know where to start from.

I'm not very experienced with PS either, so it could be as simple as deleting and adding.

Grabbing an image and adding text is child's play; a simple copy+paste and the text tool. However, making it look real will require you to use your own artistic skill. If something doesn't look right, be it font, placement, size, color, etc., then play around with it. Move some elements around until it looks believable to you. See if you can find some articles on typography unless you already have a background in that topic.
