CD Cover

I took the original image of Charlie focusing on his eye as it is a deep symbolism point in metal.

I decided to combine his eye with this image of silhouetted trees with the sunset to ad colour and make a reference to David Bowies image.

I decided to invert the image by using a filter on photo shop. Th image didn't colour all the sections of his face due to lighting changing the colours and gradients.

As a result, there was a skin coloured outline so i simply used the eraser tool.

When I overlapped the image, i had to reduce the opacity to allow it to blend in and not look like two images simply layered on top of each other. I also used the rubber tool to erase the darker sections from the lighting image to allow the images to merge fluently.

Here is how I reduced the opacity. 

I then had to add the logo. This is one example of the logo on the image. I didn't really like it as the outline was incredibly bright. 

This logo however has a 3D, gradient effect, which was really interesting and I feel has mroe of a metal and violent feel.

I asked my target audience what they felt about the design and some people said to have something in the sky to draw attention to the center of the image instead of having an unbalanced and unorganized image.

This is my final CD cover design as
