Photoshop Practice
Today we used Photoshop to create a cover of a cooking book. Firstly I used a Pen Tool to select the chosen image(the crab) then pasted it on a new page. It was time consuming and didn't turn out very well, so I guess the Pen Tool wasn't the best choice for this task, that's why for the lemons, I chose the quick selection tool ( it was the best one because the lemons are round). After pasting the lemons on the crab I started choosing colours for the background. I used the Paint Bucket Tool to put a colour and chose something between pink and red, because it contrasted the lemons and I wanted them to pop-out. After doing this I increased the canvas size so that I ended up with a blank space on the left side of the page, there I chose a colour as well, a texture filter and finally wrote the title of the book.
That way quick and easy we made a book cover from a simple crab picture. This is very helpful for the picture I'm going to use for my magazine, now I know how to make my ideas a reality and lets hope it will turn out ok. :)
