I happened on this front cover use yesterday when browsing Google Books. The photo is of a breakwater at St Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands. I remember feeling a little annoyed with the person for daring to walk into my photo but obviously his presence is key to the use. Below are my two alternatives that I have – a vertical and a horizontal which has been cropped to form a vertical. It looks as though I was struck on that red life saving ring! Interesting to see how the image has been built into the whole design of the cover. It was licensed through Agefotostock.
See the Photoshop work where the red ring used to be?
