album cover design

Album Cover Design....

step1 

so within this post i will be talking about my process to achieve the out come i have chosen to use as my final design for my album cover this is going to be a long and painful post. but lets start from the begin. i used a templet for  this one i will add a link to the webpage at the end of the post.so like the small poster design i started with the background i used the same one from the small poster design but in a different witch you will see as i go thought after placing the design in to the templet i then start to map out guides to help me plan my imager out.   

step 2

after playing out with the guide i moved on to the background i wanted something different from the poster to have a link with the design its self so i played about with the levels and the colours  then placed a big block of blue using the block colour  tool  then overlaid it with the background and this was the outcome of the experiment i am really happy with the outcome and i think the colour really go well i really like how the blue really brings the texts out . 

step 3
after playing about with the level and filter i started using some patten that i made using ink. then i scanned them in and put them in to photoshop then i placed the design i was happy with then i cleared  them up using the magic tool and then i copied the patten over and over again and placed it allover the design to give it a feel of chaos. i feel that i have achieve.in step 4 i will be talking about  the imager and how i placed it.

step4
i started playing with imager and how i was going to place it i looked in my book to look for a image i could use and i found the one i could use i played around with the placement till i was happy with the over all look. 

step 5
i used the text from my laster design and my poster design to keep a link with my concept 

step6
 after adding the text to the design i played about with the full design and moved the text round the templet  and played with the background to get some of that patten coming through   because after placing the imager and text in i lose some of the background so i move somethings around to let the patten come through

step7
adding the songs  list to the back of the design
