Digipack and CD cover Photoshop Tutorial

These are our first attempts at creating CD covers for our chosen genre on Photoshop. Doing the tutorial taught me how to resize images, create a shadow effect and blur colours and images to create a better effect. This is a quick idea using what I have learned and a mock up of what our digipack could look like. The view of the group wearing near matching clothes makes them seem like a band or a gang. The image of the plane in the background is conventional as it shows money and travel. It also creates an image of power and mystery for the band members who seem to be watching the flight. The colour scheme, unfortunately, is too bright to be truly in line with our genre. We needed a darker, earthier colour scheme to show the artists as gritty and real.The Parental Advisory label is conventional of the genre as Hip-Hop usually uses explicit language and adult themes.
