CD Cover Practise (Photoshop)

I used photoshop and learnt how to use its features and especially the ones that i would use for when making a CD cover for an artist, for example tge magic wand or text editor.


Here is my practise front cover, showing i know how to use photoshop to a extent.

Ive made it a plain black background as its a indie artist, so the audience should concentrate more on the artist as an atrists impression is very important for a indie artist.

We know he is an indie artist by the costume he's wearing as well as by his body language, its very casual and personal to him.

Ive made the text quite vibrate and outlined him in white as it gives a more 'creative' edge to his image, and it contrasts to the black background which shows he's not related to the musical sterotypes we relate to the colour black, for example rocky, dark, emotional. In fact it will give off the impression he is the opposite, more vibrant and 'happy' as such.
