Making DIGIPAK (front cover)

 

To begin with, I created a new blank canvas with an area of 21cm by 21cm. Then I pasted 2 copies of a secondary source image of a city skyline. I changed the Hue & Saturation on the top layer picure to make it dark and using the soft rubber tool to create the light to dark gradient from top to bottom.  

 

 

 

I pasted an image from the artist's photoshoot

 

I then used the polygon lasso tool to colour fill shapes that take up the artist's main features in order to create a cartoon effect on the artist

Each feature has its own layer

 

 

After tracing the photo of the artist, merged together the shape of the artist's jacket with a coloured version of the city background

 

 

 

 

Lastly I got a picture of the parential advisory logo due to the explicit content of the album, I got a picture of the artist's recordlabel's logo. I also wrote the name of the album on the top of the cover and included the artist's name just under it. I put a coloued copy of the background and merged it with the title of the cover.
