Front Cover Experiments

I decided to experiment in photoshop with some of my photos, i had two photos in mind for my front cover but couldn't decide on which one to use. By creating a mock front cover for both photos i was able to get a clear picture of what each one would look like.

Here is my first one:



I have decided not to use this one as the image is placed too far to the left, and i would like my collumn inch to be down the left hand side. If i were to keep this image i would have to place a lot of writing over it and cover up the majority of it, this would make it look a lot less eye catching.

Here is my second one:



This is the image and layou that i have decided to use. I am using this one as the image is based on the left hand side. This ensures that i have enough room to have a collum edge down the left hand side and also be able to see the picture still.
