Trojan Horse was a Unicorn

On the first day we were tasked to create a spread for a magazine about the gaming company Trojan Horse was a Unicorn, which is currently establishing itself in the Maltese islands.

We were asked to make four designs using at least three of the provided images and making enough space for 350 words excluding the title of the page. Below are some of my designs:
