Inside Cover Continued

As before i was thinking about using the "opacity" feature of photoshop, i decided to have a look at the end result and i was suprised on how well it seemed to fit the overall look of the cover. however i did have a few problems as i had to go and take some more images of the band as some of the images that i was going to use was that the image was "cut" at the top making the image useless

Inside cover Continued

Today i used a selection of images from the band and used them of the left hand side of the cover as the dvd will be on the right which to make sure that i do not go over it i place a solid red circle. the images that i chose to use were of the band playing their instruments. i think that i might use the feature "Opicaty" to overlap the images.

DVD inside cover

Today i have started on the inside cover of the dvd cover.I first of all to keep the continuity of the tasks and the colour scheme i kept the background colour and colour scheme the same as i think that having the same scheme though out will help show consistency.

DVD cover Continued......

Today i have managed to use another image in the dvd cover, this time the photo is of the band members and i have located it in the bottom left hand corner, to get the area of the image of what i wanted to use i tried to use the "quick selection" tool like i had used before but however this was not enough and i was required to use another tool to get rid of some of the background. this tool i used was called the "progmatic tool" this allows you to select in more detail on what you want to select.

DVD Cover Continued....

Today i added all of the revelant extras onto the dvd cover like the barcode,the copyright symbol and the record lable. the record lable that i havve chosen is curb records, the reason why i have chosen this record lable is that they i think are the best company to use as they have signed similar bands of similar genre

Today i managed to add some of the images that i have taken for the dvd cover. To get the area of the photo that i required, i used a tool in photoshop called "Quick select" which highlights an area in the photograph/image that you wish to use.

DVD cover

today i started to create the cover for my dvd. i first used a tool on photoshop to make the background fade from a blackish colour to a white in the centre, then the pattern is continued from white back to the back like at the start. i did however have a few problems in getting the desired result as i was new to the photoshop program from have little experience before hand. I also managed to add some of the songs that will be "included" in the dvd cover using the pointy font.

Fonts



I have decided to choose two fonts from a website called www.dafont.com, the reason why i have chosen to use two fonts in stead of one is because i think that using two similar fonts could help in showing my genre.
the first one that i have chosen a font called "pointy" and the second one that i am chosen is called Anglic War. i have decided to choose these fonts because i think that these two fonts are the best to represnt my genre

Change

in my pervious post i have said that i would keep my tasks as plain as possible, but after further consideration i have decided not to keep the tasks blank but to use colour. the reason for this is because i think that the use of colour in my tasks as they would attract more attention to my video and band

Media package

planning for the rest for are media package is to create a dvd cover and an news paper advert.

for both the dvd and the advert i have decided to use no colour in the work as this fits in with the over style that i want to create for the band. i have also decided that for the dvd cover i will try and follow the style that i have created in the music video that i also created

Photoshop

i have decided to use a program called photoshop as i think that it is the best program to use as it has a lot of useful tools to help me complete these tasks. Other programs that i considered were not up to the task that i wanted to accomplish.
