AS Media Studies, Ryan Lovejoy.: September 2009

Finaly i used the burn tool to make the text more readable and inserted a barcode too

I have now used the text tool again to actualy write the tracks in and used the free transform to angle them how I want, after rasterizing, i used the burn tool on them to stlyize them a little. Also I created a circle around the 'ND' to imply it is some sort of a symbol.

Here I added some more text which relates to the front CD cover. Also I inserted the image of me from the front cover by using the very useful extract tool.

I then loaded up another photograph of some bricks i had taken, by altering the contrast Iturned it into a black and white image, then I used the vertical type tool for the track numbers. After I had done that I used the magnetic lasoo selection tool to roughly select the numbers and some of the brick behind them. I then used colour balance to alter the colour greatly.

Fist I created a simple gradient fill using the paintbucket tool, I went for a predominantly black theme to match the tone of the front cover.

I started off with the original shot of

me in an urban environment.

Next I used levels, curves and the burn tool to simply manipulate the colours used.

Here I began to manipulate the background layer using the bucket tool to fill it with solid black.

After filling the background layer with solid black with 100% opacity, I then created a new layer on top of that and loaded a photograph of a wall I took onto it, once loaded I knocked the opacity down to around 40% in order for the solid black fill to show through.
