Gallery task - to keep adding to
Not just any old colour, let's go mad with it...
Because you're making a CD cover, make sure you square crop each of the images.
Make sure you practice adding text to at least one of the images you work on today.
Saturation lets you make colours stronger - more saturated. Hue lets you change colours.
Colour sliders - Hue and Saturation
Choose one of these images to use. All of them work well.
Adding a colour filter to a black and white image can create an interesting look. This is used by Belle and Sebastian on lots of their album covers. You should be able to create a similar effect really quickly.
This image works really well for this effect.
Here's a CD cover that I worked through using the idea from colour filters. This is a good one to work through to see how the different layers fit together.
See if you can replicate it. And then improve it.
This image works really well for this.
This is tricky.
Not every image you find on the web will open in Photoshop. And lots of them will be really poor quality.
Use Unsplash to source your own images. These will all work and are really high quality images. They're also totally copyright free, which is a bonus.
You can go back to lesson 1 if you need to.
