CD Cover: The Best Budz


This is the CD cover that I did for my friend Maxwell Jensen's band called "The Best Budz". The first picture is the pan-flit and top cover that would be in the CD case. The main cover is the one to the right with the title on it. I made the letters for the title which is something i might change later on. It fits me as a person but I'm not sure if it was the best choice in reflecting the band. It seems slightly too edgy for their earthy relaxed happy style. And the image in the background is a picture of a flower that I took and edited primarily using the Curves effect tool on Photoshop. Unlike with the letters I am very happy with the backgrounds end result. One of the ways they explained what they were looking for was Lava lamp-ish which I believe is close to that. The middle section of the first image I am very happy with. The way i did it was with a picture of a hand holding a flower that i altered with the Curves tool again. Then I made multiple copies of it and combined them while messing with the opacity levels and the placement of the pictures. The third one to the far left is a picture that I took of leaves obviously. I liked this ine because they did describe themselves as earthy which is why I used this one and i felt it needed to have a green aspect to it as well because of the description. To be able to represent them as they want. I feel the composition of it is good with the rule of thirds, repetition and color. I made the letters for all of the CD cover. Thew last image at the bottom is the back page. It is the same picture as the second in the middle because I felt it needed something to pull it together in some matter. It is also changed with curves but different than the others. If I could change this I would switch this one with the one in the middle of the first image. Because generally CD covers have song titles on the back.
