The Magazine cover is the one i found most time consuming ,trying to create a brand identity to existing magazine.
Many different layers meant file size started to get big so i had to discard the layers i was not using in photoshop. I am pleased with the final result and the tag line which may be little corny i think it could work as a poster for a horror film .
One has to be very careful with the final layers to ensure you select all important layers or it may get missed out.
