Finish Cover

To get the finish product I wanted I had to play around with to get everything in to a place that looked and felt right to me and my eyes.


Everything that I have on my background is a different layer, this is because it's a lot easier to work with. Having them on different layers was helpful especially when things was going right. like for example whenever I would click on my text layer it was always creating a new text layer, if I didn't have the layers it would be hard for me to see this problem.  

With my description on the back I wanted to have bullet points for each point that I was stating, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. So instead at the beginning of every statement I made the capital letter bold and increased the font size. This was so that it was clear and easy to understand where each statement started and ended without using full stops because it wouldn't look right or neat.

For me to get the right images I needed for the information description without the unwanted bits. I had to find an image that would allow me to select would I need and crop it out. For this method i used the selection tool and selected the exact part that I needed, then place it on a different layer and copied it on the my background layer. Placing them in the order that worked best with the layout of the text and images. 

I placed my logo, the BBC logo and DVD logo twice on my cover. This was because I didn't want a lot of blank spaces on the cover or the spine. 
My text font is "Edwardian Script" and for both my spine and front cover. The font for my description is "Arial" as "Edwardian Script" didn't stand out and was too fancy.
