• XBOX STARCRAFT GHOST  OXM magazine cover    This cover for the Official XBOX magazine ranks right up there with the second Splinter Cell cover as one of my all-time favorites!  On this cover we decided to try this shot of Nova from a birdseye view.  It is a tougher angle than normal due to the foreshortening of the figure and equipment, but it gives a much more dramatic look to an otherwise boring scene.   Originally, she was standing on a metal platform like those seen in the game, but we decided on a glass platform instead to ensure that the text on the magazine's cover would be easily legible.  BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT (the producers of the StarCraft:Ghost video game) liked the image so much they bought the rights to it.  see news item
