Using Adobe Photoshop, we removed the backgrounds from our initial shot until we were left with just the two figures in the picture. We did this by using the the tool which allowed us to erase large sections at the time and then used the rubber tool to make a more accurate close in on the two figures. Next we used a colour adjusting tool in order to create silhouettes of the two figures. This took a long time as it was hard to make sure that the colours were just right and that it was still possible to identify the figures in the picture.
We changed the background colours depending on what colours we made our silhouettes. In this case we made a pink background for our black silhouettes however, we intend to alternate this with two of our other covers. Pink silhouettes with black backgrounds.
We put 'Cinderella' to emphasises the theme of fairy tales.
This is our front cover so we decided to have the band's name on it. The Glow on the name illustrates the focus of this cover. Also by having a glow we felt that it suggested an unnatural element which we thought we could relate to the idea of fairy-tale fiction.
Finally, we decided to give our figures another dimension and so decided to emboss our image to make it look like they're coming off the page.
Over the next week or two I hope to have uploaded all four of our covers.
