Digipak

When I started to create a possible cover for the digipak, I started to experiment with use of effects on photoshop, this helped me to familiarise myself with the programme and also helped me to decide what looked effective and professional and what wouldn't look as good for our artist.
Here are some of rough examples of what I experimented with:

This image gives emphasis to the guitar as I used a filter on a certain part of the image called 'charcoal.'

In this image I used a filter on our artist, which was called 'cut out' this gave the image of the artist many layers, and almost makes her look surreal.

Using a different effect called 'liquify' I was able to make the background more surreal, I only experimented on one part of the background, as if I am going to use an effect on the background I will have to transform the image in to many layers so that the whole background will use the same effect.

I have only done these as rough experiments as if I was to use these ideas I would want to perfect them.
