Step by step CD cover- Photoshop

I did a step by step to show evidence of how the group created the CD cover and showing the steps of how I made the effects appear in the CD cover to make it look like the original Scarface.

This is the Scarface image that our group wanted to make similar as our own CD cover. We purposely wanted it like this because the Post modernism was related because the Scarface is an old film and we wanted to bring the same idea of the black and white style into our renewed CD cover.

For the fist step we took pictures of our self and scanned it onto the computer programme Photoshop and added the effects of use in black and white.
We did the same thing to all the pictures like effects and adjusted the size of the picture so that it would fit in the square were the page is split in half.
For the text we added a glow effect to a red and made effective, we also showed a step how we did which we went to layer then layer style and the options were there to control the adjustments and lightings to make it look clear.

The second thing we did was that after all of the image of our self we had to make sure all the size were fitted in side the square. I came up with my own idea that parts of our image we should have different colour for example the image on the top left, his watch is pink and the top right the gun is red and for the bottom left his watch is blue. We also put this on the bag as well for a reason because to also bring suspense to the audience. The bag is also in the music video and we wanted to include it in the CD cover.

Next was the text that we put in stating who were are and the name of the song that we are promoting. The text was made on PhotoShop and the effetcts came from it. What I did was selscted the syle of write to old engilsh and clicked on the layer of the text and added the effects to make it K.I.G look like the words echo.




This is the updated CD cover and how it looks with the effects we did and the added text thatis in there. I thought his was okn to created, I had to teach both my group members because there were not that fermilliar with the sorfware but they got the hang of it.
