How we made the magazine poster.

We had already ediited the photogrpah on Adobe Photoshop so this gave us a head start  since we used the same photograph  for the CD cover.

Firstly we adjusted and edited the phtograph on Adobe Photshop and expaned the size of the phtograph so that it would be suitabel for the poster.

We then impotrted the phtograph into Adbobe Indesign  gradually started to add text to the picture by selecting which font we wanted and choosing which colour would be suitable according to our research.

 We copied and paste the Cd front cover from a speprate document  and added a red outline around it so that it would relaet to our colour scheme. After placing the picture of the front cover of the CD case onto the poster, we decided as a group that this would be our final poster. However after receiving negative feedback, we decided to edit the poster further.

We therefore decided to add more infoamtion ontot our poster in order to make the porodcut look more professional and realistic  by selecting the fonts and colours needed as before. 

Final poster below.

How I made the Cd front cover.

Firstly, we  edited the photograph chosen using Adobe Photoshop. We used a clone stamp tool to colour my nails to make it look more professional as I had chipped nail varnish

Whilst using this tool we had to change the mass diameter of the tool to make it easier to edit in certain areas, and also the hardness of the tool in order for the final outcome to appear blended and smooth.

We then went on to use a healing  tool to take away dark circles from my eyes, and in order to make Niamh's face and neck appear smoother and more even.

After having experimented with various fonts, we decided to use a simple  font as we decided it looked most suitable for our CD cover. We also decided to place it in the right hand corner as we felt it looked weird being placed anywhere else.

Final front cover.

How I made the CD.

Firstly we copied the text 'Niamh' from the front of our CD case, to reinforce continuity throughout our products.

 We then decided it would be more appropriate to use a grey background as it would correlate more to the colour of the pictures that we have used, as well as the music video. Lastly, from research, many conventions used on real media products show that a record label icon,the singer's name and the copyright law needed to be included on it so taht it looke professional and real.

How we made the CD back cover.

Firstly we clicked on 'type' then 'font' and then selected the font we used for the front of our CD case which was called 'Eras light' when using Adobe Indesign.

After placing all the text onto the picture, this was the outcome. We decided to put the number in red font as continuity from the front cover of our CD case as well as the rest of the text as white synergsising the products together due to the red and white colour scheme.

Then, by using a line tool we added side lines onto each side of the picture for the sides of the CD digi-pack.

We then decided to add a bar code to our picture to make it look more professional and so we imported it onto the picture and decreased the size of it, placing it in the bottom left hand corner.

This is the final edit

Here is an attempt of us drawing out a signature to add to the picture, however once made we felt that the signature was not appropriate and looked very messy and unprofessional.

 

How I made the inside of the CD cover.

Inside CD case

This is the original photogrph.

We used the  clone stamp tool in order  to make the skin appear clearer as we removed blemishes  and evened the skin tone.

We then edited the photo further using a paint brush and clone stamp to blend in the lines on my neck, you can see the difference after being edited.

A clone stamp was then used to take away the frizz from the side of Nimah's hair, this is the photo before being clone stamped.

This is how my hair looked after being edited mush smoother and sleeker.

Next the eyebrows were edited by using a clone stamp  andhealing tool in order to make the eyebrows appear neat  and in line, here is the picture before being edited.

Here is the picture after editing the  eyebrows .

A circle was then created to the size of the CD and was placed in the middle of the picture where the CD would be placed inside.

Then we clicked on select and inverse to ensure that the circle blended into the picture, whilst then clicking onto a filter, then blur and plastic wrap to make the picture look more realistic, as well as adding a gaussian blur that simlaute a shiny gloss texture.

This is the finished picture after being edited .
