Ancillary Task 1 - CD Label

The image below is of the CD label I have made using the template. It currently has no details, but I intend to put on the band logo, album name, record company and the other very small print that you get on disks. I am unsure how to make the writing go around the outside of the disk though, as I think this will be very hard to accomplish. It is obvious that I made the label have the same artwork as the CD case, so it fits in with the whole Digipack.

The font below is the one that I have chosen to use on both, my CD case as well as my CD label. It is the band logo, so will also appear on the second ancillary task when it is completed. I is red so that it stands out upon the green background of the CD artwork. Red is also the colour used by a lot of other bands on this genre, due to its ability to stand out, as well as the connotations that the colour red carries. The drop shadow is not only for decoration, it helps the red show up better, because without it, the CD would just be a green and red blur or colour. To make this font, I used the "Chiller" font on Photoshop, and then used the liquify tool to emphasis the drips and blood-iness of the font. I used the layers tools and the "Hue and Saturation" tool to make the shadow.

The second image of the CD label (below) is how it is looking so far. All it has on it are the band logo and the album title. For the album title, I chose to use a font as similar as I could to the one on the front cover of the case. I continued the red and green theme on a bit. However, I think the album title needs a drop shadow to make it stand out a bit more.
