Construction of Back Cover for CD DigiPak

Firstly I auto adjusted the exposure on PicMonkey to make the lighting correct. 

I then added the sweethearts affect to keep with the continuity of the rest of the images. 

I then cropped the image into a square shape to fit the dimensions of a CD back cover. 

I then used the magic wand tool to select the background. 

I then used the brightness tool to darken the background to make the artistes stand out more. 

I then placed the bar code onto the image through the layers box, and put it in the appropriate place. I decide to put it in the top right corner because other real media product had done this and also I didn't want to cover up my artists. 

I then added all the fonts of the different song titles onto the page through the layers box.

I then placed all the layers into the appropriate places, making the white font in front of the female artist so it was easier to read and the black font in front of the male artist. 

I then added the company logos onto the back cover through the layers box.

After looking at real media products I noticed that they all had a copyright section next to the company logos, I decided to do the same to make sure my product was realistic as possible. 

I then put all the attachments into the appropriate places so you could still focus on the artists. 

This is my final product of the back cover, I'm happy with the outcome because I have followed the conventions of real media products.
