I firstly had to change the background to make it all white. The way I did this without going over parts of the model was to use the magic wand tool to create a border around the model which I could not go over. I then used the paint brush and put it on the largest scale possible as the whole background would be white and this was a quicker way to fill in the whole background.
I then had to concentrate in filling in the gaps between her arms. I used the same tools as before however the paint brush size was much smaller as it was much more detailed and intricate work.
Finally I concentrated in colouring in the background around her hair and head. This proved very difficult as it was hard not to go over parts of her hair, but I also had to edit out any stray hairs which made her hair look messy. To do this I zoomed in very close to her hair so I could see exactly what I needed to edit out and what pieces of hair I had to keep on.
I then started to edit the second photo I needed for my double page spread. I did it in the same routine as before, by firstly as a whole editing the background of the photo to make it white.
I then focused on the holes between her legs which needed to be filled in with white paint. To do this I zoomed in again, and made the paint brush much smaller so I could go right to the edge of her legs, without painting over part of her body.
I then focused on her hair which yet again was the hardest part of editing overall. On the left hand side you can see a piece of hair which sticks out marginally from the rest of the hair, and so I decided to edit this out as I thought it was unnecessary in the photo and made her hair look slightly messy.
I then started to lay and set out my double page spread. I firstly put down the large name of 'Laura' as my double page spread would be shaped around this.
After this I added the text that would be on the double page spread and made it the right width columns. I also had to make sure it didn't overlap any of the title as this is a large part of the page. I had to adjust what writing went in what column as at first it was uneven and looked slightly messy.
I then added the photos to the picture and adjusted them so that they fit properly on the page. I had to adjust how far apart the columns of writing were to fit the picture inbetween, but this was not that hard. At first I wanted the model to look as if she were actually standing on the 'L' but this proved extremely difficult and as her feet aren't flat on the ground I could not do this.
