I suggest you take a photo (of yourself or of your friend) and use some photo manipulation software to create a ‘games style’ character(s) that you can use in your magazine (either front cover – a striking image would work well) and/or in your other pages. The images below were processed in an AI editing software and are the sort of thing I am suggesting. Or, look at the photoshop tutorials below and have a go to see what effects you can take. Obviously you need original images to start off with.
