The first step is to open the DVD template which I have created on Photoshop elements 10 which is the latest edition of Photoshop available to download. The DVD template is shown above the layers are located on the right on the screen grab in the right bottom hand corner. I have found that using a template to make sure everything is in the correct place to have a successful DVD cover, with the template the can be hidden by hiding the layer which the template is on.

I then needed to decide on a background to use for the background of the DVD cover, as this is a DVD which is for Mona the Vampire which has a target audience of children aged 8 to 13 the DVD cover need to stand out on the shelf and be able to draw in this target audience. To open a photo you need to open a new layer and then click file and Open then chose the photo or image that you want to use and then click open.

This photo shown above is the photo which is going to be used on the background for my DVD cover, as there is a logo on the photo I will have to edit this out by using photoshop.

After opening the photo which you want to edit in Photoshop you need to duplicate the photo layer so this photo can be edited, you also need to make sure that the photo is unlocked before you start editing as the area that you are editing will not Appear on the image. You also need to make sure the layer that you are editing is at the top of the layers tool bar located on the right of the screen grab above.

As I am going to edit out the logo and lines of the photo shown above, this can be done by covering the logo in a similar colour in this case I am going to use the colour black. You firstly select the paint brush tool located on the left hand tool bar and then chosen which colour you want by clicking the two small black and white coloured boxes at the bottom of the left hand tool bar. This will then cover the white istockphone logo shown above were one of the lines as already been edited out.

I have then continued to edit the logo out of the photo shown above, with the paintbrush tool.
