Process Heating Magazine (edit)
This layout was based on the buyers guide material focus on having the right tools for the job. I included stock photography of toolbox and industry equipment (I made them look like stickers applied to the toolbox itself) to create the digital illustration. Tools used: InDesign, Photoshop
