step by step instruction of how I made my front cover for my cd cover.

1. How I made my front cover
Erin Kennedy

2. I took my original image and placed it over the template given.

3. I took this image I took accidentally, placed it over the image
for the front cover.

4. I changed the bit circled in red to ‘overlay’ so that the
image blended into the other, creating the effect above.

5. I used the lasso tool, outlined myself and pressed Ctrl+J to add it to a new
layer – separating it from the background.

6. I added the artists name, in the font ‘Georgia’, in pink. I did the same for the album
name – except it was in ‘Lucida Handwriting’, in a darker shade of pink.

7. I added the drop shadow
effect to both of the texts
– at 100% and 6. (See
middle picture)
I positioned the text like it is
above – I put the album
name behind my head a
little – it is still readable but
gives it a different effect.
After separating the
person from the
background, I moved
that new layer (layer 1)
to the top of the layers
so that anything else I
add will go behind it (if
positioned around the
person).

8. The final
product.
