Development of CD Disk

CD disc
Inside an album I noticed that there is always a disc cover. I think that it is crucial if I have added this also.  In order to do create I used the same image as the CD cover, this is normally done by the conventional features. The next step is producing a circle shape to follow the CD shape moreover I feel there is something missing within the circle so I decided to add the name exhibition on the top to make it look more proportional and balanced. In my opinion those three edits meet its conventions allowing professional composition overall I feel that they are proficient.



When creating the CD disk, I began by using the same font as the Cd cover, i have chosen to do this as it adds continuity between the different sides of the digipak. I have chosen to use the font   
"Orator STD" as this font is quite small and therefore looks proportionate on the CD disk cover. The effects on the text is also the same with the same white stroke and grey and black overlay being apparent. I then have choses to use a white background for the Disk as this applies the the current codes and inceptions of a music video. I have decided to input the logo of the group at the top of the disk, this is a unique place in placing the logo however i have also placed the logo on the top on the CD cover itself. The logo is once again a dark colour to make it stand out from the white background. After completing this task i then decided to create visual imagery by adding the mountain range which can be seen in the bottom 
of the CD. 

I have used this image as this isis a similar image to what I have seen in my research, the album cover below shows a similar style of imagery with the mountain being used in both of the pieces of media. I have chosen to lower the opacity of the mountains to make them more subtle and inconspicuous. I have then used the brush tool in order to clear away the edges of the mountain range. 

After this I lastly decided to editing the layer by adding a motion blur, I have use this tool before in the coursework and therefore am familiar with how to use the tool. I have decided to blur this image to continue the theme of mystery throughout my coursework and i believe the blur tool allows for a visually pleasing effect that is not seen in allot of different music cd covers allowing my piece of coursework to be unique.
