My photoshop edit/ Front cover design

Front cover design

This post is to show what I have done for my book cover design & other samples that I have created in photoshop.

 

This image of me was taken via the apple mac application "photo booth". I took this photo for my front cover design.

 

This is the same image where I added the grayscale effect and I flipped the image to get rid of the mirrored reflection effect. I did these adjustments on the apple mac application "photoshop".

 

This is a screenshot of the edited image and an image that I have chosen for my background.

 

This is the image that I chose for my background, I chose this image because it is associated with one of my favourite movies.

 

This is the finished result of the image for my front cover design. I pasted my image onto the background by duplicating the layer that was my image, then I pasted the layer onto my background layer, finally after I pasted the image onto the background I moved the image into the desired position on the background.

 

This is a screenshot of me opening the JPG file onto photoshop.
