Reflection on the FINAL CD cover

Whist making changes towards the final CD cover, I noticed that we had to make sure it was the right size for printing to fit an actual CD case.

The original images i created for the 'addicted2 hardcore' album was created on Microsoft word. However when uploading the images onto the mac and on to a software called 'templates' which gives you the actual size for different jewel cases, i found that the original images didn't fit. The problems that occurred was the fact that original images wasn't a proper square. so when uploaded them onto 'templates', we had to fill in the backgrounds with black so that it fitted onto the template.

Another error that irrupted the process of doing the final CD covers was the fact the original images settings wasn't responding with the MAC. I had to convert the images on Zamzar, which allows you to convert files, to a 'PSD' to 'JPG' in which the mac would recognize.

 

we managed to get this sorted and printed off for the final look. 

Final CD:

Although we had completed the CD cover, we improved it using the software 'Photoshop', making it of a higher quality which gives the artist a more professional image. We emphasised certain colours on the cover which related to our research where we found colours on CD covers were usually emphasised to give them more of a 'neon' glow.
