CD Panels - Photoshop - paint.net

This is the front cover of the CD.

By using a prgram called paint.net at home i increased the contrast of the clock work image to maxium, creating a very dense feel to the image. Then using a softner tool, i were able to soften up the background layer also giving the image a warmth metallic gold feel to it, making the clock seem like its reflecting light. I also wanted to go for this sandy colour so that the image becomes equivalent to the sands of time representing insomnia as an endless feeling. Another image of a clock has also been added using the opaque tool so that the image fades into the background layer. The image is also based around endless insomnia with the clock pouring away as sand in the persons hand almost as if time itself is melting away. The text "Insomnia" has been created using the softner tool to achieve that warmth sandy look and i've also used a glow to highlight the text making it stand out. To finsh of the text i used the liquify tool to get this bendy effect within the text.

Left inside cover

This graphical image has been created in photoshop. What i've done here is using a photographic image we'd taken of a clock in manchester i've over lapped it over the top of the front cover making the image slightly opaque. Then using the magic wand tool i selected the metal rims of the clock i increase the contrast and levels of them to give it a more metallic gold look, relating towards the front cover itself. I then darkend the balck features within the image making it more bold. Using the text tool i created the title "Insomnia" once again and added to the bottom left corner using the liquify tool to make the text more mesmerizing.

Right inside Cover

Relating towards the original Faithless insomnia CD cover, i've taken a section from the left inside cover and enlarged it. This being the bottom left cover of the image, so that the text "Insomnia" still appears.

Back Cover

I created this image using photoshop. Using an image of a clock i increased the contrast to maxium and adjusted levels. i aslo used the front cover decreasing the transparency of the front so that it seeps through the back giving the Cd back cover a golden burnt effect. Using a text format i created the title and song titles. Then using the effect mosaic titles to give the text more of a bold outlook, making it almost look like stone. After this i then scanned the internet for a bar code and added an additional website down the right hand side of the case.
