Reflection: I used photoshop to create a book cover/poster. My initial thought was to make a photoshop poster based off of the “Special Edition” book cover. I found a picture of the gang, and pulled that into photoshop. I then made a gray/blue background. I made a dark gray background, then put a 30% opaque navy blue background over it. My next step was to liquify the background to get a texture on top of it. Now that I had my picture and background I could add the title and author. I also added a thin white border to “finish” off the front cover. For the back cover I “stole” the gray/blue background and border, then added the actor/character names. Themes of the story were added to the poster with matching fonts. For the final “touch” I added the title and director of the movie. Then to add some color I used the paint bucket to change the background colors. I made three versions of front and back covers.
