Ancillary Task - how I edited

To edit my digipak and album advert, I used photoshop.

To start of with I needed to decide which images from the photo shoot I was going to use, after going through and looking at each image multiple times, I decided on these images for my digipak;

And for my album advert I decided to re use this picture as it fitted well with how I wanted my album advert to be laid out and also the audience would recognize the image from being on the digipak.

For my digipak and album advert I am going to cut out the images from their backgrounds and put them onto a water colour background, I did this by using the magic wand tool and selecting all the area's of the image that I wanted to keep. I did this for all of my images

 

I then copied and pasted this cut out image onto my water colour background which I have already scanned in and opened onto photoshop

To make the water colour background less bold and more faded, I played around with the opacity of it and found that 73% gave the best colouring

As I had already looked and researched fonts all I had to do was find the exact colour that was on my digipak, with the same amount of text outline and play around with where I wanted to place my texts. This took a while as I wanted to get it just right.

I then had to decide which colour and the size of the artist links and where to place them without the album advert looking strange.

Finally I added the record label logo to show what record label my artist belonged too.

As I had already created my digipak, the album advert didn't take as long to make because I had already made the decisions on the type of text, the colours, the outline so it stands out, I had already done the research into record labels and already had a clear image of what I wanted it to look like.

As you can see for my album advert I decided on my first draft because this advert would look better as it is portrait and looks more professional, it also looks like it would be in different magazines such as popworld and welovepop.
