2. First I took a photo of myself wearing a suit, at the time i thought I would use the background in the shot however i later changed my mind as it was too busy, I wore a bandana for ease of editing. I cut out my face and added one I had drawn, scanned in and cut and pasted the edges placing them to make the shape fit the hole. Then did final touches(editing out my bandana that was showing) I cut out the background, adding in a new one from a separate photo which I liquefied added a filter to, to give the background a highly distorted feel. I then saturated the background and Added the artist name and album title. Then resized it to the correct measurements and made the text more visible.

3. For the back cover I took a photo of a friend of mine I told him to wear the same outfit in the same place however with the headphones down and without the direct mode of address. I then cut the background out of the photo and put it into Photoshop with the same background as I had used for the front just without any filters. I blurred most the detail except the headphones to give The add mystery to the artists Image and increased the brightness to make the photo look more similar to the front photo (although it was the same place I choose to have a board held up behind my model to make editing out his face easier, this however interfered with the lighting). I then added track listings and times, barcode and other conventions.
