peer assessment...

Through being peer assessed by the actual cover model and another friend, I have come to realise that the blue object in the picture is distracting the attention, because it is a different colour from the look that I am trying to go for. Therefore, I am going to change the colour of the blue object and make it darker.

Before changing the colour - initial editing stage

After changing the colour - showing the blue object as now black

Thanks to this link that I found on the internet I have been able to achieve this.

This process has allowed my technical knowledge of Photoshop to be improved and now I feel more professional and confident using the application.
This process has allowed me to change the colour of an object that was distracting the attention of the audience, and I think that it has now improved the image; this will hopefully keep the audiences attention on the actual text at the right side of my double page spread. The text on the right hand side will be white, and this will attract the audiences attention, because the white will hopefully contrast with the black on the double page spread, making it stand out.
