Research and Planning: Introduction to photoshop (CD cover)



This CD cover my first piece of work i have done on Photoshop in media studies. This is the first time i have ever been on photoshop, and my media teacher thought this would be a good way of introducing us to photoshop.  Theses are the steps we had to do:  

  • We had to place the CD and the Horn onto the background. 
  • We did this by using the magic wand tool to select the CD and the Horn and then we used the moving tool to move them to the background. 
  • Once we did this we then had to move them and rotate them.  We did this by clicking on edit, transform and rotate, then simply rotate.
  • We then added text to the CD cover, we did this by pressing text on tools bar then clicking on the CD cover where you wanted the text.  Once you have done this we change the fonts and size. We also added a drop Shadow onto the text by going onto layer style then add drop shadow to my text.  
  • I also changed the opacity of the background by going on layers and then choose the strength of opacity.  
  • I then changed the colour of the CD by using he paint bucket and choosing my colour.   
  • I also revealed some of the notes by finding the notes on the layers list and clicking the little box next to to it making them visible.
