Book Cover Design-Evaluation

How I felt about the project at first

At the start of this project I felt a little unconfident with using photoshop on the apple mac computers because I didn't have much experience with using apple mac computers. However I gave it a try anyway and thanks to doing this project I have more confidence in using apple mac computers and I also have a better understanding of photoshop and how to edit photos and create effects that I like.

Research

When I conducted the research I had a little difficulty conducting research because I find great difficulty  with finding work by my favourite artists that I like on the internet due to incorrect information & duplicates by other artists which weren't created by the actual artist. So I had great difficulty conducting the research, unfortunately. 

Creating the book cover design

I enjoyed getting creative with designing the book cover because I loved experimenting with the different tools and styles plus I learnt how to create these effects and now I feel confident enough to do this again on photoshop.

Annotation

The annotation was somewhat easy to put down in my post however I didn't do the annotation at the same time as importing the screenshots which is where I went wrong & I didn't think the annotation through very well. So next time I will do the annotation at the same time as the screenshots so I won't struggle with future blog posts.
