I decidedtomake mycontentspage veryclean.To do thisI usedthe same fontsand the same colour
scheme.Idecidedtomake the canvas white toemphasise the simplicity.
AfterI putthe image onthe canvas,I decidedtocutthe backgroundout usingthe quickselection
tool.

2. Once I put the image on the canvas,I decidedtoadda majoreffecttoit, tomake itlookmore
professional,andleave itthemed.Todo this,I usedthe thresholdtool.Thischangedthe picture
drasticallyandalsomakesitlookgenerallybetter.
NextI decidedtoadda vector,to give ita theme tothe threshold.
AfterthisI decidedtoaddthe name of the contentspage artistusingthe texttool.I decidedthatto
keepitconsistent,Iwoulduse the same font,anduse the blackand redcolour scheme,againstthe
white andblackbackground.Usingthe character tool,I alsomade it italic,soit wouldlookslickand
professional.
