CD Cover Front and Back

My idea was to design a CD cover that would give a modern and warm feel and at the same time be original.
I made the background nice and subtle with a wild Heading, to focus the viewers attention.

I originally had a border but it felt like too much was happening and the details felt a bit overwhelming on colour so i kept the it border free. I feel quiet satisfied with the results for the front cover.


The back cover  i kept similar to the front cover with less contrast as i needed to focus the viewers attention on the tracks and the text. But without any contrast the cover looks too bland so i placed a transparent border. The design did pretty well but not quiet as happy with this result as with the front cover.



The background was the first step i needed to fuel the design because i had a mind block at the time and i needed a direction. i didn't want a flat background so i placed a gradient in a shape selection, which i made using the pen tool and then inverse selection to dot he gradient on the other side.

The heading is something that really contrasts in both style and colour, as the colour scheme and style don't match with the background. The font of the text i used is called Angelic War and in the blending options i used gradient overlay, stroke and outer glow, to create this soft yet aggressive text.

The Layers are basic, i created duplicates of text to fill in the spaces.
