Tree Editing

When thinking of unique and original ideas for our front covers design we thought it would be an interesting idea to take an image a tree and distort it. To do this we first found a tree in a local park and decided to capture it on our camera, I then uploaded the picture to the apple iMac. I then opened the image on Adobe Photoshop and removed all the background so the only image left was the tree itself. To then turn the tree into an excentric and interesting image I would need to distort the natural colours. Through my research into the genre and its existing products we found using a red and black colour scheme was very effective according to market reviews. Therefor in our design we thought it would be a good idea to follow this trend in genre conventions and decided to turn the tree red. To do this I simply adjusted the colour balance in the image as shown in the photo above, this then took the tree from a boring, dull looking tree into a vibrant excentric new piece of art. We then simply included the bands consistent logo and text style and our front cover was ready for feedback and evaluation. After all necessary changes had been made the design was finalized and came out effectively in our opinion.
