The first thing that we had to consider is: Shots Options/Choice
After we have taken all the photos, we had to be clear on what kind of photos are going to be put on the front cover, initially we wanted like a mood board of photos but then that idea was changed into something more ordinary and original. We decided to use only one shot of the whole band.
This shot was then going thought the process of editing in the software that we never used before: Adobe Photoshop. This let us to do great things with only one photo and be able to change things around if they did not suit into the whole artist's image.
During the making process we also considered the use of font for the logo. You can read more about the logo options and the reflection Here!. We really careful had to choose where to put already chosen logo, so it is well visible and can be recognisable by the audience and all the fans. So this took us some time too, to actually think of a right place on the front cover to place it.
Another reflection that I have on the process of making was the idea that we had to put the front cover which was JPEG Normal Size Photo, into normal CD format. For this we researched the sized of a normal inside cover of normal CD and we changed the measurements in order for the print version to fit in. We could have used a software to do, but we decided to do it on our own to gain some experience in the future projects.
The last point that I have is that by using the previous software that I have talked about: Adobe Photoshop we were able to play/edit the whole picture when it came to shades/blurs/textures/lighting. This let us to change the look of the front cover a bit and make it a bit vintage. We had many options and design of the main photo, before even thinking that it will be our front cover.
