To create the effect of the red and pink lighting I have used the brush tool and put it over the image I then changed the opacity to create the effect of lighting.

Then to make the colour stand out more against the image, I changed the colour balance and the vibrancy to give it more of a natural effect , also I had an Idea in my head before I had taken the images of how I wanted them to look.

I then had to extend the image at the top so when I go to layer the headline and things to go on my front cover the two people on my front cover don’t get covered up, I put the original image behind and then moved the one on top down then blended the image below with the one on top to make the image taller also slightly cropped the bottom to put it back to original size

Again I have used the brush tool to create the lighting effect or the old fashioned photo effect I then changed the hue and saturation to make the colour stand out, I also changed the opacity so the colour doesn’t completely cover the image and it creates a lighting effect like I did on the front cover image. Changing the hue/saturation of the image takes away the harshness of the colour so its more light, I then changed the brush layer to ‘overlay’ which slightly changes opacity and colour the opacity was 9% which only gives a slight colour ‘flare’ across the middle colour is red and the two at the top and bottom are blue.

This was an image I created for the double page spread I wanted to create an album cover which looked convincing the colours on the image wasn’t edited in I used a filter in front of the camera when I took the original image which caused this effect. I cropped the image to make is down to a square size which is the standard album shape

I used an image I found of the internet to give the image colour and layered it behind, I then used the shape tool to create a circle and a pentagon to layer over it and to make it look unusual

I then added text to give the album a name along with the artist name I changed up the font to make it look unusual

I used the technique that I used on the front cover where I use the brush tool to create colour over the images then I change the opacity this time I put colour in each corner of the images it gives them a vintage look this gives it a layered effect

I messed around with the hue/saturation of the image once the colour was over the top to make the colours change then I changed the layer to overlay to make it look like the image came out like that natural a sort of polaroid effect.
