For this project I used an AI file from another one of my projects to add the Yankee logo in the background and gave it a lower opacity. I then found a photo of Aaron Judge and gave it a layer mask to mask the rest of the image and added it to the center of the cover. I then looked at another ESPN magazine for inspiration on what else to add, which led me to add text to the sides of the cover. Lastly, I put the ESPN text at the top of the cover.

This is my progession of work on my magazine cover.
