The document discusses the creation of an album inlay design using Photoshop. Various editing techniques were tested out, including resizing and positioning roses and other images, adding color effects to achieve a vintage indie style, and adjusting text size and adding glow/shadow effects to ensure readability. The final design incorporates roses, barbed wire, and text about the album's production to represent themes of love, pain, and nature within the music. Consistency was maintained with other album artwork designs.
