USING DOUBLE EXPOSURE ON PHOTOSHOP

Here is a practice of us  making the CD cover step by step using double exposure:


                                                    STEP 1

• We decided to use the same image of the character. we decided to cut put the image and change the capacity 50% so that when we add the background image of the city, the image can be seen through the image of the character  to cut the image we used the magic wand and rubber. the image was not cut accurately however this won't be a problem as we are going to make the image darker and the sharp edges won't be as visible.

STEP 2

• We were not happy with the city image we took previously as it wasn't as colourful and vibrant so we decided to change. reused a more colour full image of a city and place it at the back of the characters image. we adjusted the size of the image making it equal size to the characters image. using the city as a background did not look attractive and looked busy and we did not want the CD cover to look busy as most CD covers are simplistic. so we decided to cut out the city image  in the shape of the characters image( head) and use a simple black background as shown below:

STEP 3 

• Here is where we are so far. We adjusted the capacity of both images so that the city lights were visible through the character image layer. The pitch black background made out CD cover look quite mature so we decided to change the gradient to make it more appealing.

STEP 4 

• The next step is to add texts. we have decided to use this font for our band name and used a simple font for our music name. we used a white colour font to make it stand out more. most cd covers use simple fonts and colours however we decided to not follow this convention as out genre(house music) is more about being bold, colour, loud and dance so we used bold fonts that represent these feelings. the white font works very well as it contrasts with the black background and makes the text pop, allowing the audience know what bands CD cover it is and what album it is.

This is the final making of the double exposure using images from the internet. We wanted to use images from the internet to get a taste of what our CD cover would look like using double exposure. We wanted to use the image/s of city lights as it is a theme that runs throughout our music video due to the fact that the music video is set in a city- London.
