More Fun With Photoshop

My latest assignment in my graphic design class is to create a CD cover- front and back, including legal lines, barcode, and spine wrap.  Since my daughter Annie is the most amazing singer I know, I thought she deserved a cover for her latest (imaginary) CD. She is already concerned about the list of potential songs, I had to get them just right! I told her when the time comes that she records her CD, I'll happily redesign it any way she wants.

Other than the realism factor, the only other things required was that I had to create text on a path (the wavy lines where the (odd) title of the album are, and create a clipping mask for her name. (For the non-Photoshop users, that means I had to 'clip' an image to the word to give it more texture, dimension, and realism).

It was really fun to create the design and tiles. I will acknowledge that I borrowed heavily from a recent ad I found in a magazine, of the new Kiefer Sutherland TV series "Touch", but I think I gave it my own spin.
