Front Cover

 Before
After

Within the main cover image there was a person which detracted and distracted the readers eye from the main subject therefore this was removed. This was achieved by using the clone stamp tool to sample the surrounding material and brush away the person in addition to the content aware fill tool being used in places.

Editing of cover lines:

Originally the cover lines featured the text alone with the title however this was hard to read against the background. Therefore boxes were added to provide a vibrant background making it easier to use. However, this was plain and therefore colour was added to make the banner stand out using the colour overlay tool to easily to this. To further develop this, a harsh drop shadow was added with a contrasting colour to further emphasise the banner and break up the piece.
