Creating my DVD cover

Using the programme 'Photoshop', I used many different effects to create my cover. I measured the size of an existing DVD cover to create an appropriatly sized canvus to begin with. I had to create the isometric purple and blue box effect on the back of the cover by hand, drawing out individual boxes which took a long time. When they were all lined up, I could merge the layers together to create one single one. I gradually built up my design layer by layer, to create the strange world my lead singer resided in. Looking at album covers for La Roux's album it looked as if the world she was standing in had been created on a computer. I tried to do the same, building solid walls for her picture to stand behind, and adding lighting effects to make it look more believable.
