I regretted not creating one of my earlier images in hi-resolution. I thought it was pretty powerful as did a couple of people whose opinions I value greatly.
You’ve seen the original version posted a couple of times on this site but I think it’s worth posting it again, especially now the quality is improved and the work in certain areas is definitely better.
Yes, I’ve done a cover for Tony Blair’s memoirs before but when I read that the title had been changed from ‘The Journey’ to ‘A Journey’ for its September launch, it just clicked that I’d already created an image that would suit the cover. So, above is my new proposal for the cover of Blair’s memoirs, clearer and more detailed. I have a higher res version for any publication prepared to part with a reasonable sum for its use. (plus image library fee.)

In an effort to learn a bit more and free myself from having an image totally influenced by what images I can find, I set myself a task of ‘shopping a hi-res image, creating some of it from small parts of other images. Obviously the composition and large parts of the pic are from a pretty famous photograph but the jeans, faceswaps, etc. etc. etc. are made from many, many images. The suit was probably created from a dozen different photos.
What an effing pain! I’m not doing that again in a hurry. I’m sure there are many glaring errors* but I really can’t be bothered.
*Nope, smartarse, Bush’s left arm is hidden behind Blair as was Yoko’s with Lennon in the original.
^^^this written at time of posting. Update – already submitted to photoshopdisasters but with a twist. The person who submitted it thinks that part of the unshoppedoriginal pic is wrong! In fact, it’s the supposed ‘discrepancy’ in the original I mentioned above. As I said when I posted the image, I’m sure there’s plenty wrong with it, so go for the bits I photoshopped.
*Further update: I decided to shop out the offending bit from the original.
