Research & Planning: Photoshop CD Tutorial


To create my CD I uploaded the three images into Photoshop. I did this by simply dragging them into Photoshop and opening them into three separate windows so it was easy and clear to see all three. I then used the cutting tool to cut out the CD image to then drag it onto the music note background, to drag the CD onto the background I had to use the move tool. I then changed the size of the CD and I rotated it, I also used colour balance to change the colour of the CD. I then used the magic wand tool on the image of the brass instrument to get rid of the white areas. I then dragged the brass instrument onto the music note background and rotated it and moved it into a position where it fitted and looked appropriate. The colour of the brass instrument did not look like the original colour of a brass instrument so using colour balance I changed the colour to make it look more realistic. I then added some text changing the size and the font. I also rotated the text to make it look better. I then selected the text and went onto layer, and then to layer style to add a drop shadow on the text. I then added an image of some music notes to my CD cover, this helps fill in space and fits well. Then I added a filter to the background called distort wave. Then my CD cover was complete.
