Dvd label – vector based
- Pen – I drew a basic
pistol and a bullet with the pen tool, I started with the gun and decided
to have a bullet floating in the air because I thought it would look good
with the genre of the film.
- Type on a path – I copied
the CD guides on my main document and applied them to a new document; I
then used the eclipse tool and changed the fill to clear, I then had to
draw the circle but to do this I had to hold down the shift and alt keys
down whilst drawing the circle. I then had to select the type on a text
tool which was hidden in the text option in the tool bar, I clicked in a
random area on the side of the cd and typed what I needed to type. See the
end result below.
- Place images e.g. age
ratings – I added an age rating image of 18 because most films have them
on the CD case and CD itself, I placed mine in the bottom left of the CD
because I felt it was the best place for it to go.
- Brushes – I used the brush
tool to show the bullet had been fired and to show how fast the bullet was
moving through the air. I also used the brush tool for scratch marks on
the gun itself to show it had been used a lot.
- Clipping mask – I made a
clipping mask of a polygon and a circle, one blue the other grey, this was
used for a logo to show that the cd is not fake. I struggled to make one
to begin with because I didn’t really know how to make one but I looked it
up a little and made one.
- Guides – guides were
already in the templates provided by adobe when you open a new document
called “CD print items” I selected the CD and copied the guide to a new
layer within a new document. I then deleted the template I downloaded
because I didn’t need it anymore.
- Layers with opacity – I
changed the opacity of the background image to make the bottom of the CD
look darker, this made the top of the CD easier to notice/read i.e. title
and actors, this also made the film rating, gun and bullet look darker.
