Creating my final front cover

I have decided upon an image for my final front cover. I have decided to change the colouring of her lips but keep the image in it's original colour rather then changing it to black and white. I have also decided to keep the colouring with the album name 'Red' in the colour red and by having 'Ella Clark' in the colour black and white.



This is the image I have decided to use for my final front cover image.

Creating the album cover:

 



 

This image shows I have created a background copy of the original image.

 

 

 

 

This image shows how I selected the models lips using the polygonal tool. This selects the lips.

 

 

 

This imae shows how I went on image, adjustments, colour balance and then proceeded to change the colouring of the models lips to a nice shade of red which I could alter.

 

 

 

This image shows how I started to add my text. I clicked on the text icon and then was given some options of different fonts.

 

 

In this image it shows me choosing a font. I chose my font based on my drafts as I looked at different fonts and decided upon this one.

 

 

 

This image shows how I have begun to blur her hair to make it look a bit more faded. I wasn't going to do this as her hair in the image was already blurred but then I asked Tim (media teacher) for some advice and her told me I should try it.
