From my questionnaire shown,
60% of participants said that
Image B should be the background
image for the magazine cover as it
makes Canada look very
appealing. The most eye capturing
image is Image A because it
targets children as well as adults
advertising them to come visit
Canada. However over half of the
participants believes that Image C
has promoted Canada the most
because of the beautiful
landscape and scenery.

SOFTWARE
The software that will be used to create my final graphic is Adobe Dreamweaver
CS5.5, because it allows pictures to be edited using different layers.
