Custom Magazine Covers (College Magazine)

For my first piece of creative work, I had to create a cover and contents page to a College Student Magazine.

As you can see, for the cover I have taken two images (which I took earlier) and merged the two together.
Case in point is the Animal Care student and chicken, having their background replaced with one of the Animal Care building.
To those with a keen eye, you may also notice, I have used Photoshop to remove the students blemishes from his face.

For the contents cover, you may notice how there is an image of a Dalmatian which may not appear in my original photos (See Flickr post below). This comes from images found upon The Sun newspaper website.

I also used  Adobe InDesign to place the text on top of the magazine cover & contents.
