Contingency: Inside on any kind of wall

Before editing
Before starting i had to make sure that the image will be on a an A4 sheet so to do this i went to File-New-Blank File. Then i went to my photo and clicked on Select-All. this allows me to select my whole picture, then i went to Edit-Copy, after i went on the Blank File and clicked on Edit- Paste. Once i did this a box will appeaer on the screen, from here i clicked on Preset-A4

First I edited the photo using the spot healer tool, which has made the skin clearer. i also used the magnetic lasso tool to get rid of the background which was on the same layer and then i used the colour pallet, and using the paint bucket tool i clicked on the background.

Adding text
Adding a new text automatically adds a new layer: i used the font Berlin Sans FB Demi once i had written the text for my masthead ( Chin Up!) i selected an effect called overlay, then i rotated my text and added another effect called Simple sharp Inner which makes it stand out more from the page.
