This is my attempt of creating a CD front cover for the band called 'Nature's Heroes' advertising their new single called 'Old Skool'. I opened a new photoshop page setting the dimensions to 120 by 120, ensuring the resolution was 300dpi and the colour mode at 16bt (RGB colour).
I saved brushes from the website, www.brusheezy.com, then saved them to a folder in my documents. I used the opacity setter to create a faded background, using black and blue to ensure the black tree on the foreground stands out. I added the stroke effect to my fonts to make them appear bold and also set them to italics for a bit of variation.
