Back cover done!

We have sorted the back cd cover. We believe that it looks professional and works well with the image we have chosen to base it on.
There were a few problems we came across when making it, but we overcame them. For example, the image wasn't the right size and we didn't want to stretch it because it would have made the image pix-elated. We therefore chose to find similar colours to the background and merge it in with the image. This worked very well as we had photoshop to help blur and fuse the 2 seperate layers together to create one.
To help make the cover professional we got logos of music companies, like Universal and Sony Music Entertainment and also included a bar code.




















We thought that this would be a nice image for the back cover as it was off centre and looked as though the song list would fit perfectly on the left side. We also thought that having the keyboard there suggests her making music; that music being those on the song list. This therefore creates a good atmosphere on the back cover and because it is black it gives us almost a blank canvas to work from. Allowing us to add all the text in one colour making it stand out from the background. We also thought it would be nice to use this image as it is the total opposite from the front cover. It shows the other side to the characters feelings and how she really feels when she is alone. The back cover acts as though her true self is hiding behind the front cover; the outer image that she puts on and pretends that she is bright and happy.
