Using Photoshop

For my first and second draft of my front cover i decided to use "PHOTOSHOP" instead of "INDESIGN" my reasons for this was simply because I preferred photoshop as it seemed to give more options for my colour scheme as well as text, i tried to work with indesign and did my first draft on it, but later descovered that i wanted to redo it on photoshop to see if it would possibly turn out better, i did so and was much happier with the result, however i will definitely use indesign for the contents and double page spread.
