CD

In this project, I had to show the many things that make up a teenager's life. There was a lot of resizing done in this project, and many layers and masks were made.

For the title, the subheading and the words I used the text tool. Another place that I used the text tool was in the many designs that you see under the subhead and next to the cap. I used the marquee tool and many, many layers to make the different colored boxes that you see behind all the pictures.

For the pictures, I had to mask them. For some I used the quick mask tool and for others it was easier to just select the background then select the inverse.

The Ke$ha CD cover represents the new artists that are being discovered. The cell phone represents how people love to talk and text. The iPod represents the love for music and the new technology that is made every day. The glasses represent the new 3-D movies that are coming out. The cap, shoes, skinny jeans, and cardigan represent the fashion that people are into at the moment. Finally the headphones represent the love that people have for their music, and they are somewhat a fashion statement as well.

On the left is the front of the CD that we were to make. Point of this project was to take either an existing artist, video game, or whatever, and make a CD for what you picked. What I did with this project is I took the [best] game [in the world] Kingdom Hearts® and made it a rock CD.

For the front I put a city background I found on Google. I masked out Sora (middle), Donald (right), Goofy (left), and the guitar on Sora. Because I couldn't use the name Kingdom Hearts, I changed it to Rocker Hearts: Level 1, the lever 1 because it is the first CD. For the back I put a gradient as the background, and masked Kiri (bottom right) and put her where she is. I then put the heart shaped moon picture as the wallpaper and typed all the words, using the type tool, which were bosses from all the Kingdom Hearts games with a little difference. I also masked the microphone and wire to fit. Also if you look closely you can see the wire of the mike lace in and out of the words. The lacing I did in the layers by moving some above and some below the mike layer.
