Back cover process
1. Again, to begin creating the back cover of my
digi-pack, I firstly needed to open up Photoshop
and create a new document which I would be
able to work on. As soon as I opened Photoshop
the first thing I did was select the ‘File’ tab and
then I selected ‘New’.
Once I had selected ‘New’, a pop
up box then appeared and I was
able to choose the dimensions of
the document I wanted. I again
decided to go with a width of
‘1800 Pixels’ and a height of ‘1600
Pixels’. Once I had changed the
dimensions of the document to
what I wanted it to be, I then
renamed the document ‘Back
Cover’ then clicked ‘OK’.
2. Once I had created the document I wanted, I
then needed to open up the image I wanted
to use on the back cover – to do this all I had
to do was again select the ‘File’ tab and then
I clicked ‘Open’.
After I had selected this, all of my
documents then appeared on the
screen and I then had to find the
location in which the image I wanted
to use was in. Once I had found the
image I wanted, I then selected it
and clicked ‘Open’.
3. After I had put the image onto my
document I then noticed it was too big, so
I needed to make it smaller. To do this all I
had to do was select ‘Edit’, ‘Transform’
and then ‘Scale’.
Once I had selected ‘Scale’ I
was then able to make the
image smaller so that it would
fit the document. While I was
making the image smaller I
actually had to hold down the
‘Shift’ button on the keyboard
and I did this to ensure that the
image wouldn’t go obscure and
would stay exactly the same,
but would just be smaller and
would fit on the document.
4. Once I had the image in the position I wanted it
to be in, I then needed to change the colour of
the image to make it conform to the genre
more, but also to create continuity between this
back cover and the front cover of the digi-pack.
To start editing the colour of the image I had to
select the ‘Image’ tab, ‘Adjustments’ and then
‘Selective Colour’.
Once I had selected this, a pop up
box then appeared and I was able to
begin changing the colour of the
image. Before I made any changes, I
firstly clicked on the drop down box
next to where it says ‘Colours’ and
selected ‘Neutrals’ and this meant
that all of the neutral colours in the
image would change once I change
the settings. Once I had done that, I
then changed all of the settings to
what I wanted them to be to make
the image look the way I wanted it
to look.
5. I then wanted to continue editing the colour of the
image by using these settings, but I wanted to change
some things. While still on this ‘Selective Colour’ settings
I clicked on the drop down box next to where it says
‘Colours’ and selected ‘Reds’. Once I had done this, I then
changed all of the settings to what I wanted them to be
to make the image look the way I wanted it to look. Once
I had done this I then clicked ‘OK’.
Once I had changed all of the
settings to what I wanted to
ensure the image looked the
way I wanted it to, you are able
to see that the end result of
the image is what I have
presented on the left.
6. I then wanted to continue editing the
colour of the image, but this time by using
different settings and to do this I had to
clicked on the ‘Image’ tab again, then I
selected ‘Adjustments’ and then
‘Brightness/Contrast’.
Once I had done that, a pop
up box then appeared and I
was able to begin editing the
colour of the image. Once I
had changed the setting to
what I wanted them to be, I
then clicked ‘OK’.
7. After I had made those changes to
the colour of the image, you are able
to see what the image turned out to
look like on the left.
Similar to when I was creating the
front cover, I noticed that the
background colour was perfect, but
the colour of Laura seemed a little
odd, so I wanted to change just the
colour of Laura. Again to do this I
just had to select the ‘Quick
Selection Tool’ and I then I drew an
outline around Laura which in the
image I have presented on the left,
you are able to see that there are
dotted lines around Laura and this
means that when I try to edit the
image, the only thing that will be
edited is Laura as she is the only part
of the image that I have selected.
8. Once I had created the outline around
Laura, I then wanted to change the
colour of her and I was able to do this
by selecting the ‘Image’ tab,
‘Adjustments’ and then
‘Brightness/Contrast’.
Once I had selected this, a pop up
box appeared and I was then able to
change the colour of Laura by
changing the settings to what I
wanted them to be to make Laura
look a normal colour in relation to
the background, but also to ensure
that she would stand out and be
noticeable. Once I had changed the
settings to what I wanted them to
be, I then clicked ‘OK’.
9. I then wanted to continue
editing the colour of Laura and
again I clicked on the ‘Image’
tab, ‘Adjustments’ and then
‘Selective Colour’.
Once I had selected this, a pop up
box then appeared and I was able to
change the settings to what I
wanted them to be, but before I did
this, I again clicked on the drop
down box next to where it says
‘Colours’ and this time I selected the
option called ‘Reds’. Once I had
done this, I then changed the
settings to what I wanted them to
be to ensure that the image looked
the way I wanted it to look. Once I
had done this, I then clicked ‘OK’.
10. I then wanted to continue changing
the colour of the image and to do this
I again clicked ‘Image’, ‘Adjustments’
and then ‘Curves’.
Once I had selected that,
this pop up box then
appeared and I was able
to change the brightness
of the image by moving
the line. Once I had
edited the image to the
colour I wanted it to be, I
then clicked ‘OK’.
11. When I had finished editing the colour
of Laura, I then clicked ‘CTRL’ and ‘D’ at
the same time on the keyboard to
deselect the dotted line around Laura
and once I had done that you are able to
see how the colour of the image turned
out as I have presented it on the left.
When looking at the image I
noticed that there was a bit of
wood on the floor next to
Laura’s hand which made it look
as if she was holding something,
so I decided to get rid of it to
ensure that the audience don’t
think she is holding something.
To begin doing this I had to
select the ‘Rectangular Marquee
Tool’ and then I had to draw a
square around the wood that I
wanted to get rid of.
12. Once I had selected the bit of wood I
wanted to get rid of, I then clicked the
‘Edit’ tab and then selected ‘Fill’. Once
I had done this, a pop up box then
appeared and to make this piece of
wood go away I had to click on the
drop down box next to where it says
‘Use’ and I selected ‘Content-Aware’
and this would mean that it would
remove the object I had selected and
will be aware of the content it is
surrounded by, so will get rid of the
wood, but will make it look as nothing
was there in the first place. Once I had
selected this option, I then clicked ‘OK’
and in the image I have presented on
the left you are able to see that I was
able to get rid of the piece of wood
and it no longer looks as if Laura was
carrying something.
13. Once I had edited the image to look the way I wanted
it, I then wanted to add the same rough white
background which I included on the front cover and
because I already had this image it meant that I just
needed to go into my documents to get it. To do this all
I had to do was click ‘File’ and then ‘Open’.
Once I had selected this, a pop up
box then appeared and I was able
to locate the image I wanted to
use. Once I had found the image I
wanted, I then selected it and
clicked ‘Open’.
14. Once I had the image on my document, I
then needed to enlarge it to ensure that it
was the same size as my document. Again
to do this all I had to do was select the
‘Edit’ tab, ‘Transform’ and then ‘Scale’.
Once I had made the image
the size of the document,
you are able to see what it
looks like in the image I have
presented on the left.
15. Again, I then needed to get rid of all of
the black that appeared in the image
and I was able to do this by selecting the
‘Eraser Tool’. Once I had selected this, I
then put the mouse over all of the black
that appeared in the image and once I
had done that you are then able to see
that all of the black in the image had
gone and the main image then appeared
on the document and it looked as if the
image had a rough white background.
16. Once I had edited the image to make it look like the way I
wanted it, I then wanted to add a barcode to the back
cover to make it look more like a back cover of a digi-
pack. The first thing I had to do was actually get an image
of a barcode, so I decided to go onto Google Images and
get an image of a barcode and once I found one that I
wanted to use, I then right clicked on it and selected
‘Save Image As’.
Once I had selected this, a
pop up then appeared and I
was then able to save the
image in the location I
wanted to save it in. Once I
found somewhere to save
the image I then changed
the name to ‘barcode’ and
clicked ‘Save’.
17. Once I had saved the image of the
barcode, I then went back onto
Photoshop so I would be able to put it
onto my document. Once I was back
onto Photoshop, I then selected ‘File’,
and then ‘Open’.
Once I had selected this, a pop up
box then appeared which lead me
on to finding the location in which
the image of the barcode I had
saved was in. Once I had found
where the image was, I then
selected it and clicked ‘Open’.
18. Once the image was on my document, I then
needed to make it smaller to ensure that it was
a conventional size and actually make the
image look as if it was a back of a digi-pack. To
do this, all I had to do was select the ‘Edit’ tab,
‘Transform’ and then ‘Scale’.
Again when making this image
smaller I had to hold down the
‘Shift’ button on the keyboard
and this was to ensure that the
image didn’t go obscure and
would look the same as it did
before, but was just smaller.
Once I had done this, I then put
the barcode into the position I
wanted it to be in which you
are able to see in the image on
the left.
19. I then actually wanted to add some
effects to the barcode image to make
it stand out more on the back cover
and to do this all I had to do was click
on the ‘Layer’ tab, ‘Layer Style’ and
then ‘Blending Options’.
Once I had selected this, a
pop up box then appeared
and I was able to choose the
effects that I wanted to add
to the image. The effects I
decided to add were called
‘Stroke’ and ‘Drop Shadow’.
Once I had selected all of the
effects I wanted to make the
barcode image stand out, I
then clicked ‘OK’.
20. Another conventional feature that is generally
presented on the back cover of a digi-pack is the
record label logo, so this meant that I needed to
get an image of the record label I had decided to
use. Again, I went onto Google Images and once I
found the image I wanted to use, I then right
clicked on it and selected ‘Save Images As’.
Once I had selected this,
I was then taken to my
documents and I had to
find a location to save
this image in. When I had
found somewhere to
save this image, I then
renamed it ‘record label
logo’ and clicked ‘Save’.
21. I then went back onto Photoshop so I
would be able to put the image onto
the back cover of the digi-pack. When I
got onto Photoshop, I clicked on the
‘File’ tab and then selected ‘Open’.
Again, once I had done this, I was
then taken to my documents and I
had to find the location in which the
image I had saved was in. Once I
had found the image of the record
label logo, I then selected it and
clicked ‘Open’.
22. Once I had opened up the record label logo I
realised that there was a white background
that the logo had been placed on and I
wanted it to be transparent to ensure that I
would be able to put it onto the back cover of
my album and it wouldn’t massively stand out
because it is on a white background. So to get
rid of this background I had to select the
‘Magic Wand Tool’ and once I had selected
this, I then moved the mouse around the
edges of the logo which selected all of the
white background and once I had done this I
then pressed the ‘Delete’ button on the
keyboard which then got rid of all of the white
background and made the image transparent
which meant that I was then able to put it
onto my back cover.
23. Once I had got the image onto the back
cover of the digi-pack, I then again
needed to resize the image and to do
this I just had to select the ‘Edit’ tab,
‘Transform’ and then ‘Scale’.
Again, when resizing the
image, I had to hold down the
‘Shift’ button on the keyboard
and this was to ensure that
the image would stay exactly
the same but would just be
smaller. Once I had resized
the image, you are able to see
how my back cover was
looking in the image I have
presented on the left.
24. I then again wanted to add some
effects to the image to make it stand
out more on the back cover and to
do this I had to click ‘Layer’, ‘Layer
Style’ and then ‘Blending Options’.
Once I had selected that, this
pop up box then appeared
and I was able to choose the
effects I wanted. The effects
I decided to use were called
‘Stroke’, ‘Inner Shadow’ and
‘Drop Shadow’. Once I had
selected all of the effects I
wanted, I then clicked ‘OK’.
25. I then wanted to add some
copyright information to the
back cover of the digi-pack
and once I had selected the
‘Text Tool’, I then chose the
font called ‘Arial’. Once I had
selected this, I then wrote the
copyright information and
placed it into the position I
wanted it to be in which you
are able to see in the image I
have presented.
26. Once I had written the text, I then wanted
to add some effects to it to again make it
stand out more and to do this all I had to
do was click on the ‘Layer’ tab, ‘Layer
Style’ and then ‘Blending Options’.
Again, once I had done
that, this pop up box then
appeared and I was able to
choose the effects that I
wanted to use. The effects I
decided to use were called
‘Stroke’ and ‘Drop Shadow’.
Once I had chosen all of the
effects I wanted, I then
clicked ‘OK’.
27. I then wanted to add the
website address’ to the back
cover of the album and once I
had selected the ‘Text Tool’, I
then chose the ‘Arial’ font again
and wrote out both of the email
address’ that I wanted to be
included on the digi-pack. Once I
had written these, I then placed
them into the position I wanted
them to be in which you are
able to see in the image I have
presented on the left.
28. Just like before, I again wanted to add
some effects to the text to make it stand
out more on the back cover and to do
this I just had to click on the ‘Layer’ tab,
‘Layer Style’ and then ‘Blending Options’.
Once I had done that, this
pop up box then appeared
and I was able to choose
the effects I wanted to add
to the text. The effects I
decided to use were called
‘Stroke’, ‘Inner Shadow’ and
‘Drop Shadow’. Again, once
I had chosen all of the
effects I wanted, I then
clicked ‘OK’.
29. The most conventional
feature that is presented on
the back cover of a digi-pack
is generally the track listing,
so to begin writing this, I
again selected the ‘Text Tool’
and then selected the font
called ‘Fairydust8’. Once I had
written out the text I wanted,
I then moved it into the
position I wanted it to be in
which you are able to see in
the image I have presented
on the left.
30. I then wanted to add some effects to the
text to make it stand out more and to do
this I had to click on the ‘Layer’ tab, ‘Layer
Style’ and then ‘Blending Options’.
Once I had selected this, a pop
up box then appeared and I was
able to choose the effects I
wanted to add to the back cover.
The effects I decided to use were
called ‘Stroke’, ‘Inner Shadow’
and ‘Drop Shadow’. Once I had
chosen all of the effects I
wanted, I then clicked ‘OK’.
31. After I had added all of the features I wanted to
the back cover, I then needed to save the
document as an image and I was able to do this
by click on the ‘File’ tab and then ‘Save As’.
Once I had clicked on this, a pop up box
then appeared and I was able to choose
a location to save the document in.
When I found somewhere to save the
document, I then clicked on the drop
down box next to where it says
‘Format’ and selected ‘JPEG’ and this
would ensure that the back cover
would be saved as an image rather than
a Photoshop document which would
mean that I would be able to post the
image anywhere which I wouldn’t be
able to do if I saved it as a Photoshop
file. Once I had selected this, I then
clicked ‘Save’.
