The Invention of Solitude (Cover Makeover)

Here is my interpretation for this week’s book jacket makeover for the Photo Rehab Weekly Photo Challenge.

LOVE these challenges and this week I even tipped my toe into the Photoshop waters but only managed to manipulate the photo yesterday.

Trying to add the text was simply too much, my head exploded. Or perhaps it was simply the beginnings of my head-cold? Where’s that coffee???

Love this cover Joanne – the scene is definitely one of solitude. I like the effect that you’ve used and the text looks great. How’s the head today?

  Thanks Desley – my son gave me “the look” when I stopped in the middle of the road to hang out of the car for that shot but at 6.30am there wasn’t a lot of traffic and as it was JUST how I wanted the cover to look I couldn’t help myself, lol! 🙂 As for the head, sadly not good 😦

Oooh, love it! It takes great patience to get the text just right on a photo and you really did a great job. I love that scene and the loneliness of the road x

  Thank you – the benefits of my son fishing at obscure hours of the morning in obscure places, one comes across some unexpected beautiful scenery! 🙂
