CD & Lyric Book

I decided to start with the CD as i had the perfect image in mind to use on it.

Once i put it onto Photoshop and place it in the right position i decided to look at filter to see if they might add/ improve the image. The cd looked good but i felt lacked & needed stand out more and hoped at looking at different filter might help.

After i found a filter i was most happy with i applied it and was ecstatic with the out come. The cd looked really good and all that was left to do was make the grey cd more transparent.

To do the lyric book i first chose one of the images from my photo shoot with my guitar.

I decided to chose the image below as i really liked it and the way the guitar looks like it

has been abandoned on the sofa. The colours also give it a homely warm

feel but also natural with the wood of the sofa and green pillows.

Once i put it the image onto Photoshop i then thought it would be a good idea to put the album name on the guitar. This would make the name more memorable if it was featured throughout the digipak. I dragged the image from the album cover and place it in the album insert, then i made the image smaller and rotated it look like it belonged on the guitar. After i was happy with the album name placement i then had to put the text 'Lyric Book' on it. I wasn't sure if it should be Red or White so i tested. I couldn't use black as it wouldn't stand out therefore it had to be one of my other colours, red or white.

 After looking at the plain white i didn't even look at the red because i decided that the title needed more depth to it and i wanted it to be 3D. I still wanted to use the red and white colours but i now had to decide whether the white would go on top with a red shadow or if the red would be on top with a white shadow.

After looking at both i decided the white colour looked better on top as it made the writing more clear and easier to read. The underling red is subtle but noticeable giving it a 3D look making the writing eye catching. 

I was happy with my image but it didn't match the CD as that had a filter on it so i decided to see how the filter would look on this image. Once applied the filter looked really nice and i was happy as there was now more consistency to the inside of the digipak.
