The first thing that we did when creating this CD cover was to take pictures. We decided to use close ups of a person as we found out in our research that they are often featured in our Pop Genre. The next step to creating our CD cover is to open up Photoshop and set the template to the size of a CD cover. We then used the ruler tool to split the page where the text was going to be. This helped us work out where we wanted to position everything. We got the background of Google images, where we typed in neon blue and found this patterned background. Before putting in the new background, the old one has to be removed; this is done using the 'Magic Wand Tool'. We had numerous layers but by moving them about we were able to make it work. To add text we used the 'Text tool'.Our group decided to call our album ' Making Waves' because we thought it would link strongly with the background. On the back we made up songs which we thought could be featured in this album. We also used two different images on the back to provide interest. Once this was all done we decided to 'Merge' the whole piece together and save it as a 'JPEG'.
