It's not particularly good, but since I've only used Photoshop around five times in total I think I can be let off for a below-par front cover.
The cover was basically made by overusing the Pen tool to draw around people in different pictures (as shown by the guy in front, and the four smaller pictures along the left side), cutting them out and using a great deal of feathering to make them appear to blend into the background (well not so much blend into the background, but have that feathering effect that I thought looked good). I then drew a big old rectangle on the right side, coloured it the school's colour, and then copied + pasted in a couple of logos to make it look more official.
I also spent a little time working with the different layers to get the right effect that I wanted. The guy in the foreground was originally just pasted onto the background, but then I messed around with his layer after putting the right sidebar in to make it look more technical. The poorly thought out text on the sidebar completely cancels out that attempt, but seems to level it out to show about the right amount of effort.
Now to do the contents page.
