In today's lesson, we were learning how to use Photoshop and Quark. As I've never used either of them properly before, it was interesting as well as challenging. We were all given a couple of photos, which were badly taken and told to try to transform them into a CD cover, and then a poster for an ad in a magazine.
Above is the CD cover I created in lesson. I used Photoshop for the manipulation of the photograph we were given of our teacher Dan (horizontally flipped the image and added a brush stroke effect and played with the amount of light or shadow on the image), and added the title of the album as well as the text on the spine. I then imported this into Quark where I added the logos, bar code and record label logo and also the track song listings. I found that importing images and using text in Quark was a lot easier than in Photoshop as I had some difficulties when doing it in Photoshop, and then decided to do the listings in Quark.
