CD cover for LIL D

Because we had decided on the music artist we were going to have we then started working on our tasks. For the CD cover I took some pictures of our artists Danielle a.k.a Lil D. after taking these pictures I decided that it is best suitable to use PhotoShop to edit the pictures because it is used by big media corporations for their publications.



Using the magic wand in PhotoShop i took out the whole background trying to make it better because the background had different textures which did not make it suitable to use as it was.



After taking out the background image I applied a a threshold to Lil D and then added colours to different sections to her clothing to try and making it more bright and vivid. I then looked at how Graffit is a font that is mainly used in the hip hop genre and thus decided to use it as the font for the album cover.

After finding out the Graffiti font style I then added it to the image and then I also duplicated this image of Lil D trying to make it seem a bit more 3dimensional and also eye catching. The image above was originally going to be the final image for our album cover. I was playing around with PhotoShop and I found out that the CD Cover looked more appealing when the image got flipped horizontally. After making the final changes Viola I had finished our album cover which is below.

The image above show our the CD Cover finished and it also tries to capture the whole different element to the to the normal convetions of Album Artwork/CD Covers.
