1. Project Review
This project was about making a album cover
for a band we like I did linking park. My album cover is about a cat
that is hearing and looking a video of Linkin Park. My inside cover is a
photo of the people who form Linkin Park and the logo of it. The most
important thing in the back sleeve are the songs that are in the album
so I decided to do it simple so showed the logo of Linkin Park and put
the songs over it.
My albums usually had 5 or 6 layers to create a good album. I decided
that was best to combine them where there are some empty spaces
for example the cat’s sun glasses. In the front sleeve there’s a cat
that usually it just had two eyes I decided that it was too simple a
put him some glasses and put the logos of Linkin Park inside. My
inspiration was practically animals. If human beings are so passionate
for the music of Linkin Park why animals aren't? That is why I
decided to put a cat in the front cover. This would also make the
people think “why is there a cat in the front of an album” this would
help sales because it gets people interested in it and want to hear
this album.
The Photoshop tools that I used were the magnetic lasso tool to get
the glasses in the cat, the eraser to get any imperfections in the
picture erases. The free transform tool was very useful for the time
that I wanted to put some text on the album. In the inside I used the
gradient tool so that there is more suspense in who is the singer and
people will search for it and hear his music. More tools can be overlay,
text box, copy, paste and last of all split screen.
I think there were some difficulties in this experience. For example I
couldn’t make the eraser bigger but then I understood that it was
because instead of making my album 80 cm I did it 800 pixels. Also
when I tried to use the magnetic lasso tool it wouldn’t let me use it
because it was 50% off of the picture. But not everything was bad
there were good things like the overall picture and the form that I
understood and practiced my skills in Photoshop.

2. If I could do the things again I would try to do the back more
interesting so that if the people see one of the both sides they would
also buy it. Also put clearer the name of the album and do it neater so
the people don’t think that it’s made in Photoshop.
