Meet & Greet Issue
In Contest:

step 1 of 11
First, i selected as much avatars as possible.
step 2 of 11
Masked all avatars, and moved them close together. Also did some polishing up, to make them match better.
step 3 of 11
The front row needed something to sit on.
step 4 of 11
Created a new background by using a large dry brush, using different layers in mode 'overlay'.
step 5 of 11
I planed for a reflection and needed a replace-filter for that. Blurred the sea image slightly and adjusted it to gray scale.
step 6 of 11
Here it is, with the reflection and replacefilter in place.
step 7 of 11
Next step is adding the text to the cover. Used a nice free barcode font to change the text 'PxlEyes' to a barcode.

step 8 of 11
Now with text, image and barcode. Also added another avatar (scaled up a bit, and added some grain to hide the resize artifacts).
step 9 of 11
Also create the previous issue. May be less detailed, because it will end up behind the first one.
step 10 of 11
Both issues together.
step 11 of 11
Created background by filling a layer with grain and aplying a motion blur on it.
