Today I am going to create a costumer profile in Photoshop as software practice and to show who my target market is.
I began by opening Photoshop and clicking on 'New File' and then a dialog box opens. In this box I go to the top menu and clicked on 'Print' and then 'view all presets' I then chose A4 size as I will be creating a book cover and I checked that the resolution was 300ppi so that the work would be of printable quality. I then chose the background colour as white and then I clicked on 'create' and now have a white canvas to work on.
My next step was to go to unsplash to find a suitable image to mock up my front cover. I found the right colourful image and downloaded this onto my desktop at a high resolution. I then went to 'File' on the top menu and then 'open'. I then again went to the top menu and then clicked on 'Select' and in the drop down box 'Select All' and then I went 'Edit' in the top menu and then in the drop down box 'Copy'. Then went back to my canvas tab and clicked on 'Edit' and then 'Paste. I then used the transform control to drag the image over the edges of the canvas to cover the page. I then clicked on the top tool (Move tool) in the left hand menu to ensure that the transform of the image stayed in position.
