To start off this project, I did a couple thumbnail sketches to give me an idea of the overall layout. This was actually the most helpful part of this process because it served as a guide for where I would place things later.
At this point in the process, I began editing and compositing the photos to make the main portion of the magazine cover.
This was the final outcome. I'm happy with it and believe I was able to achieve the main goal of this project by using various tools and techniques in photoshop. All stages from sketching to the compositing made the end result possible.
