Photoshop Essay Cover

To wrap up the essay project I would like you to continue exploring Photoshop by developing an 8.5" x 11" visual essay cover. The theme and content of your essay should provide the direction for you to design something interesting for the cover. You are free to use any of the techniques we explored before, and I will show you some other options and techniques that you can use, but the collage should incorporate the following elements:

• A colorful, layered background using painting, textures, patterns, or gradients.
• The title of your essay
  
• Your name
• The class name
• A minimum of three images but as many as you can creatively incorporate
• A minimum of two different filter effects
• One layer effect

The essay cover design is due next week on the 16th along with any final revisions or drafts of the essay. The essay cover is a great idea to show imagination for your portfolio, but you need to have a competent essay as well. Please do not begin your essay cover until you have submitted a revised essay complete with MLA format including a heading, header, in-text citations, and a works cited page.
