Letters image edited



Firstly I needed to make the image stand out more as the photo was quite dark despite the natural light and seems unfocused . Although the photo was slightly blurry this was not a problem as the photo would not be very big on the table of contents and so this would not be noticed. But i still needed to make it lighter and stand out more so i used the 'hue/saturation' tool to bring out the light brown and white of the letters.
I also needed to include a page number in the left bottom corner so i used 'Impact' font in white as i had planned but found that it blended with the white letter in the same corner. To fix this i put a black 'back drop' (shadow), behind the number to make it clearer.
The pile of letters connotate that a lot of letters are being held back by the postal strike and this is a problem- that will be addressed in the magazine.
