Practising Photoshop

Practising Photoshop

To learn how to use photoshop, I did an exercise where I used skills that were needed in order to make my own digipak and poster for my artist. 

I started by finding images off the internet, the images I chose for this exercise was a picture of Beyonce and a picture of the galaxy. It is best to find an image of an artist with a plain background so it is easy to cut the background out. I placed the galaxy image onto photoshop and made it smaller to fit the screen how I wanted it to look. I then placed the picture of Beyonce onto photoshop, to be able to cut the background out, I had to change the mode to 'RGB Color'. 

Then I used the 'Magic Wand Tool' to highlight the areas I wanted to cut out, then simply pressed the backspace button to erase them. Following this, I dragged the image of Beyonce onto the galaxy tab, adding her onto another layer and placed her in the area I thought was best suitable. I then created text to go onto the images. I did this by clicking on the tool with the 'T', I then moved the move into the place where I wanted the text to be and then dragged in the desired place to get the right size of the text box. Typed in 'Beyonce' and then my practise Front Cover was done.
