4. Before I edited the image
Here I have enhanced the colour giving it
more of a vintage and aged look.
I have re-coloured the image, lowered
the brightness and enhanced the
contrast making the imaged darker and
more unusual.
After I edited the image
To make the text follow the lines of the
hand and wrap around the grooves, I put
the image into Serif draw plus and used
the font draw tool. In order to do this I had
to draw a line following the ones in the
image and then insert text on top of it.

In the images I have positioned the lighting carefully making it capture main features of

I particularly like the hand that stands out on the front cover and how the font fits into
the image so well.
