THE ADVERT

Advert Creation

Firstly i started with a document with a width of 1000 and a height of 1480.

I then filled in the layer in black.

I then drew these lines using the Line Tool.

I used the same technique hat i used in the creation of the >> Behind CD art <<

After i had applied the motion blur, i duplicated the layer and spread them out, the pattern which they are in was meant to follow a beat in a song, where it has a heightened part then drops.

Once i did this, i applied the same effect used in the >> Behind CD art << where after i drew the lines, i merged them with the black layer and made another layer behind it and filled it with white.

I then changed the black layer to luminosity.

Once i finished this i created a new layer, selected the brush tool and set it to white and placed spots over the front. 

After a few alterations, i used the filter>distort>wave tool at these settings

This gave the following effect.

After this  added the text to make it look more like a poster.

I applied the following layer styles to make the text stand out more.

And finally i added the Ogo-Pogo Logo

After this i proceeded to add a picture of the two recording artists.

I started off using the following picture.

I used the quick selection tool to select both of the artists then right-clicked and refined edges.

After i refine the edges to cut out the back ground, i actually had to delete it. Once i did this i applied surface blur to make them look airbrushed.

Once this was done i merged the image into a blank layer to make sure that the applied effects stick once copied.

I then copied and pasted it onto the advert, gave it a white glow and turn down it's opacity.

As soon as i have finished doing this, i noticed that issue with the image itself, so i decided to add a white line, applied outer glow and a gradient to make it look like this.

This finished the Advert.

Disk and Spine Creation.

For the Disk i created a image with the same dimensions as the other documents i've created.

for the spine i used 6.5mm W and 125.5mm H.

during the creation of the disk, i used the same technique as i used to create the image behind the CD.

Behind CD art >> Here <<

Instead of moving the duplicate lines further away, i used the Twirl tool to ben the lines to make then circular.

After i created a duplicate, i duplicated them both to make four, then i duplicated them again to make eight. After this i used filter>distort>twirl to make them curve. i then duplicated them again and kept doing it until they made a circle.

After i had finished that, i drew a grey circle around the middle to make it look more like a disk.

After i did that, i added another grey circle to the outside to make it more believable. 

I also colour each individual line either blue or pink, the way i did this was to create a new layer behind the black circle. I coloured this layer white and set the black layer to Luminosity wich allowed me to colour the individual lines.

After this i added the copyright information, Ogo-Pogo logo and the Compact disk logo at the bottom.

Spine:

For the creation of the spine i used the dimensions that i stated at the beginning, i then used >> This << technique to draw the semi-circles.

I then applied these layer styles to give them colour

After this the image look like.

Once i had this image, i added the name of the band, the name of the Album and the Ogo-Pogo Logo.

Back Cover Art Creation.

I started by creating a new document with the dimensions of 412px Width and 412px Height.

Once i had my black layer i filled it with black so that i could begin.

firstly, i used the same technique i used in the front cover creation to create the main art on the back cover.

>> Front cover <<

After i created the lines, applied Zig-Zag and added wind i eventually got to the point where i added glows and emboss via the layer style to give it this effect.

After this i added the Copyright information to the bottom left.

I then added the track list to the top left, giving the text a glow to make it more eye pleasing as it was boring otherwise.

After this i added the Barcode and the logo of the company who is publishing the album.

Finally i added the art created earlier to the current image.

Behind CD Art Creation

Firstly, i created a new document with these dimensions: 412px width, 412px height.

To begin, on a new layer i drew three lines with the line tool.

After this i used the Motion blur.

I then duplicated the layer and place the copied layer away from the existing one.

After i did this, i wrote with text "Good Time"on a new layer.

I then created a new layer, and used blue an dPink to colour over the lines.

With the new layer above the lines i drew, i created a Clipping Mask.

After i did that, the next picture shows what it turned out as.

I then i added layer styles to the text.

After all these are applied, this is the outcome.

After this, i created a new layer. Using the brush tool i highlighted the white parts of the text.

The layer opacity was set to 59% and i added a glow to the blobs to give them the blueish glow.

Once this is applied, it makes the image look like the following.

After this, i created a new layer and using the same size brush tool i placed two blobs above the text and two below.

After i did this i used filter>distort>wave and gave the result an added glow.

After i did this, it created this final image.

Front Cover Creation

To begin with, I created a document with the dimensions of (412px Width & 412px Height)

Then i filled the layer with black.

After that, i took one of the pictures from our photo shoot, i cut both Ellie and Jonny out using the magic wand tool, then went around using the eraser to get rid of anything the wand missed.

After that when i pasted the picture onto the black layer, i resized the image and added a white outer glow.

Then i started on making the fangs around them (They looked a lot like fangs without added colour)

Firstly i drew a line with the brush tool while holding Shift.

After this, i went to Filter>Distort>Zig Zag and entered the following variables.

After i have obtained this image, i rotated it 90 degrees clockwise and added Filter>Stylise>Wind.

I did this twice for Right to left and Left to right.

This created the image below.

I then rotated the image 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

After this i duplicated the layer and placed the copied layer to mirror the original.

It looked like this.

After this, i colour each layer via the Layer Styles.

The bottom one look like this.

For the top i did this.

This is what it looked like afterwards.

I copied the text form the >> Behind CD Art <<

After i added the text it looked like this.
