Due to the strong link between Jack Johnson's music and his background in surfing i went to the beach to take get some unique photos. I wanted an image which portrayed a bit of skill which could be photo shoped with an outer glow and neon effect as this would further boost the impact of the image on the case.
The first phase was to crop the image of the surfer and copy it over the background of the wave. From here i changed the colours of the surfer to make him stand out and to match the front cover of the CD. I then enhanced the background making it brighter and placed a subtle drop shadow on the surfer to bring him out the page a bit more. Then in order to keep a consistancy with the magazine advert i am going to create i places an outer glow on the person.
The next stage was to incorperate the text into the CD case. I kept the same style font as on the fron however this time i made it bigger. This gives it more of an imapact on the page. Below JACK JOHNSON i wrote the CD title and then again to repeat the companies name i placed the 'BUSFIRE RECORDS CO.' in the bottom left hand corner in order to repeat the companies name.
The finished Piece
The Finshed Piece.
The last touches were to incorperate the bar codes as well as add the cross hatch effect i used on the front. I used light and dark blues and then made the opacity less in order to allow the image behind to come through. This is also like what i have done on the front and gives the finished cd case an overall better look.
