Creating Our Back Cover

This is our finished back cover. The process of creating this began with us openeing a photoshop document the same size as a CD case. We then used the dropplet tool to select the grey from the front cover and used the paint bucket tool to turn the whole of the new document this cover.

The next step was to create the geometrics of the back cover, this was done so that there was a continuous theme throughout the cover. Just as we did with the front cover, we copied and pasted in the shape and used the gradienct tool to create a fade in colours, this time however, we had the shapes breaking off from further down the frame instead of right at the top.

Then we inserted the song titles, I will do a blog post on the meanings behind the titles at a later date. For these titles, we used the same front as the album title, again to create a link. We wanted to make the font slightly different though so we used the paint bucket tool to make some letters seemed thicker than others, we liked this as we thought that it showed a more creative side to Nova.

Finally, we inserted legal information, our record label logo and a barcode onto the cover - this was to make the cover look just that bit more realistic.
