Construction - Album covers

Also as part of releasing this single an album had to be made so therefore album covers would be needed for the album. As the song "The Scientist" is quite a sad/depressing song we decided to make the covers for the albums with a  black and white effect to outline the depressing mood of the song. For the front cover there is a picture of me (Mitchell) as i am the person who is in the music video with the name of the band "Coldplay" and the name of the song "The Scientist".

 One half of the cover, the left side, is in black and the other half, the right side, is in white




 and the picture of me has been edited to black and white.



 This was done by removing the background layer by cutting the picture of me out with the magic wand tool



 and deleting the background and making one half black and one half white. To make me black and white i had to edit the threshold of the picture until it came to a good enough effect.



 Then the title of the song and the band needed to be added and this was in courier text.



 The same effects were used to create the middle pages of the album covers but on the middle pages there is a picture of me and Aisleen (The girlfriend) holding hands



 and the other one is of Aisleen with the same black and white effect.



For the back cover we have a picture of flats in the same black and white effect. Also on the back we have the logo of the company "Star Records" with the list of the songs and the copyright text.
