I started with looking through the filming of the singer in the field for some ideas of how to have a good close up image, I had decided that I wanted to have a person on the front cover, ideally the singer but not essential, so I viewed all the filming that we had got and there were many close up stills that I could use, I then decided that I didn't want to have a close up of a face on the cover of my CD, this was because I don't think it is very relevant to the genre of music for our music video. Our song (Best of You) has an instrumental ending and we decided that in our video we would have the singer turning he's back on the microphone, and when I went over the film i thought that this was a very good view of both the singer and the microphone being left in the screen so I print screened the image and started editting on Photoshop when I got home on 16 March to take out the background and leave the image. I then took the image I had without a background and put it on a white background with a thin blue border, this is how the cover looks currently.
I then decided that I wanted the picture to be sligghtly different, so I had a look at the different effects that I could apply to the picture, I then had a choice between the 2 that i liked the most, which were 'Grain' and 'Sprayed Strokes'. They are both fairly similar effects but I decided that the sprayed strokes gave a more professional look to the picture.
