Work in progress



Firstly i added in an image from the internet of old worn away paper for my background throughout the book. Then i inserted the chosen type face i thought was suitable for my book. 



Secondly i edited one of my photos in photoshop. I adapted to colour balance and added in an light flare into the image to add light. I used soft yellow and orange colours as the image on the right helped me to develop this colour scheme. 
I then added in old text over the top. I found this image off am old postcard. I changed the opacity and faded it out slightly by using the gradient tool. 




I then added in an image in from a previous 'The Notebook' cover. I found an picture of an polaroid and edited the image in side it. I edited by adding 'noise' and adding a gradient.




For the back page i then added in old postcards, tags and a pencil to fill up the white space that was present. I lowered the opacity to fade them out. I also added ink splashes onto the background to add the effect of someone writing in the olden days. 





Finally, i added in a old stamp to my front cover to carry on the theme. I also moved the title to the bottom of the page to ensure you could see the image in the background. On the left flap i added in a tag and added text. I added in the barcode, publisher, price and website as these are important features when creating a book. I added more than one type face into the book to make the book more visually interesting and not boring. The authors name and review are both in a sans serif type face.
