Final cover

This is my final cover design. I'm really happy with it because it is more detailed than my previous designs, also it is a lot more clear and legible.

With the skyscraper I had to do a lot of perspective adjustments as well as cropping it to get it central on the page.

I used a blend layer with the tree and leaves in the background to make everything merge while keeping a high contrast of colours.

I decided to keep the original colours of all the source pictures to keep them looking real and only changed their brightness and contrast to make them a little bolder.

I think if I were to improve my magazine cover I would make the image a little less busy, however I wouldn't know how to do this whilst keeping the main image fairly similar considering my main story.
