The task was to create a book dust cover using photoshop. The theme I went with was a personal one of a book I am still in the process of writing called 'Haven't Saved'. The book is about life and experiences in life, about reflecting on what we have done and what the future holds. I decided to reflect the theme of the book using images I have taken throughout the years.

These images are noticeable on either side of the cover. I cut out the building and statues of St Peter's Cathedral found in Vatican City, using quick select tool and refine edge, and placed the building with the statues on top of a sky blue colour. In the text reading 'SAVED' each letter has a separate clipping mask of the images I took. All the images were adjusted to be brighter as if they are illuminating light. The text 'Haven't' and authors name were types in a typewriter font to go with the theme of writing personally. The middle part has a bevel for aesthetic appeal. The back cover has the text with an outer glow and the cropped image also has an outer glow and using adjustment levels I made it black and white.
