[|camel picture]-

[|eiffel tower picture]



I used Pixlr because it allowed me to put the two images together in a way that looked more professional than if I had done it on an Open Office draw program or Tux paint. On Pixlr, I first uploaded the camel picture. Then I used the color replacement tool to add the green that faded out. Next, I layered on the Eiffel Tower image, deleted the background on that image using the magic wand, and then put it to the side of the camel image. I used contrast in the colors on the cover and alignment by using the rule of thirds. I used the rule of thirds by placing everything around one spot of empty background, because the eye generally doesn't drift to that spot. I chose the green because it contrasted with the camel and made it stand out. The title is // Camel Takes Paris; Humphrey's Vacation. // I chose this title because it represents the images on the cover. I chose the color of the title by seeing which color would make it stand out the most from the background. I used repetition in using the same font and the beret with the Eiffel Tower.
