I took a photo just like the famous one of that refugee girl on the cover of National Geographic with the red viel on her head.  I copied all the text and logo from the magazine cover and I made my own, just like the original.  Would it be ok the upload it here on MM or is it a copyright issue?
Keep in mind that the general public cannot view the images uplaoded to MM.

I wouldn't - National Geographic is VERY protective of their cover format, and their logo is registered  -

I think the operative words here are:  "I copied."
