  Animal Issues Magazine Cover

  Animal Issues: 8.5x11” magazine, full color throughout. 32 pages, published quarterly.
  Print run: 30,000.
  Market: Membership and general public.
  
  Design & Cloning: The slide chosen for this magazine cover was missing the top portion of the eyebrow and head. Using Photoshop, I created the missing parts to allow room to put the masthead at the top. The ironic part is that only now - 10 years after completing this cover - I have realized that I actually switched the direction of the iguana’s body. If you look closely at the original slide, the iguana is looking up and focusing forward. By adding the topline to my cover’s iguana, my shaping of the head makes him appear to be facing to the right and focusing to the back right. All due to the shape of the brow and skull.
