This is an in-depth explanation of my post it. First, you have to create a rectangular shape using the marquee tool, and colouring it using the paint bucket. Next, duplicate the image and change the colour to black, and lower the opacity of the rectangle.
After, use the warp tool to drag out the rectangular black part to let it resemble a shadow and I added a gaussian blur to make it seem blurry. Then I used the warp tool on the post it tab to make it look more real like.

This is my 2 different cover proposals. I still find them both very plain. However I was ensure which building to use as the wood building would reflect our newsletters wood theme. However the wood building will look too Matchy with the top of the wood part. Hence We decided on the normal building. I never realised how difficult it is to design a cover page that will look professional. Also used back the word waitrose that I designed for my previous assignment as I felt I was a wasted design. I created a more sticker like effect so it would not look that awkward and also reflected the sticker scrapbook theme.
