Photoshop Workshop- Construction

In our third and final lesson of learning basic Photoshop skills, we were given a task to design and create our own made-up album cover using the skills we learned throughout the past 3 days. Here is my final product after 1 hour of editing and modifying.:



  • Step 1: Finding the suitable color scheme: I went on the internet and used Adobe Color CC and look for ideas for the right color scheme to go with my music genre (Heavy Metal.)

  • Step 2: Finding suitable images: I researched some pictures via Google, selected and filtered some of the pictures which I think would look good on an album cover.



  •  Step 3: I opened the pictures in Photoshop and started editing them by using the Magnetic Lasso Tool in order to crop out the pictures from the background.



  • Step 4: I added the album name 'Silence' and the band logo 'I Prevail' using the Text Box Tool and adjusted the font and size to my desire, to fit in nicely with the album cover



  • Step 5: I added all the pictures together into 1 files through different layers. I used the Smudge Tool to make the pictures blurry and blend in together nicely to go with the message behind the album name 'Silence.'
