Production of the Inside Cover (Right)

With the inside cover (left) featuring a face on image of the beggar, I have then stood behind him and taken the photo looking at his back. He is still on the swing.

Taking the original photo (shown in a previous blog entry) and cropping it down, I now have this image:

The beggar has kept his body position similar so as to continue the continuity which I saw was one of the codes and conventions in CD cases. I like this photo, mainly because it is a total contrast from the face on image where we saw green grass and vibrant colours, whereas here we see a dull landscape. Unfortunately a van is in the way, and so I will need to somehow mask or camouflage this so as not to take the attention away from the beggar.

Using the magnetic lassoo tool and the same effect used on the background for the inside cover (left) [see videos on earlier blogs], I transformed the van to look like this:

With the van like this, it makes it blend in with the background, thus making it less obvious.

As with the inside cover (left), the image as it stands is still fairly ordinary, and so I decided to highlight some areas of the image. With the other inside cover having the background altered, I decided to use the beggar as a blank canvas and create an effect on him. As with the van, I used the magnetic lassoo tool and, instead of a fully fledged effect, I decided to use the black & white alteration which continued the gloomy feel to the image:

With the central image now with a new effect, I feel that the image is complete.

Here is the finished design *yes, it's a bit dodgy, I didn't save the actual image as a picture so cropped three separate images together, again will be there on Monday*:

When the consumer opens up the CD, these are the images which they will be confronted with:
