4.  Firstly I would make my font more interesting and
eye catching by using different effects and fonts.
 I would also take more care when cutting out my
foreground image for the cover so it looks more
realistic.
 Next I would make the picture and background
more realistic in size, because my photo is not in
size proportion of the background at all.
 I would put some ‘puffs’ on the front page as well
to make it more appealing and interesting to read.
 I would try to have a better colour scheme.

5.  Firstly I would make sure that all the different pages
in the contents list have a page number written
beside them. This way people reading would know
what page to go to.
 Next I would have a better background than just
black.
 I would also make sure that the pictures I use are
connected together in some way and are not just
randomly placed along the page.
 I would make it look more interesting by using more
colours

6.  I used the quick selection tool; this was to remove
parts of the background at once in a simple way.
 I also used magnetic lasso tool too to cut out more
hard to reach areas of the picture to try and make
the picture look more neat.
 I used the text tool a lot to get the text I needed
the changed the colour and fonts.
 Finally I used the copy and paste tools to easily put
pictures on the contents page without having to
save them first.

7.  Overall I need to improve my understanding of
Photoshop in general. This way my work will look a
lot more professional, and have a better layout.
Also when I'm using tools like the ‘magnetic lasso’ I
need to keep a steadier hand so I can cut pictures
out neatly without having to start again everytime I
mess it up.
