Cd cover Pratice and Photoshop Pratice.

Here is an example of my groups first attempt at a CD digipack. We have tried to follow the conventions of the other CD packs that we have looked at. We created this on photoshop, and used an example of what our Artist could be called, in this case Blake.

The background and green/blue coulour over "Blake" means that Blake is not standing out so much against the background. We chose green as we felt it went with the 'earthy' conventions of a indie-rock music video.

The font on the front of the album cover we have made stand out more by putting a white glow on the text, this makes the name of the artist and of the album much more obvious, however, this seems to stand out more than the artist and because the artist has had a wash over, however this may not be a good idea to do this again on the final outcome.

The font on the  back of the digipack has been made bold and this although not as forward as the text on the front of the pack it still stands out. The use of the bar code and recording label makes the digipack seam more realistic. This also looks more realistic as we have used a recording label that we have looked at and know does release our genre of music.  

Here is an example of some of the things that you can do on photoshop. Here I have changed the filter and and added a blur. This creates confusuion and makes the image unable to be clear to the audience to what it is.  This was our first attempt at using photoshop.
