My decisions & tools that you used on photoshop to achieve your intentions.

On photoshop i made all of my ancillary tasks, these being the magazine article and also the front and inside CD cover.
I opened all of my pictures into a blank canavas and used the exposure tool to change the contrast of the pictures. it gave an unusal abstarct effect, which really fit into my genre. I used text within my work, for obvious titles.
For the barcode of my cover i used th 'BARCODE' scipt on photoshop, and made up my own digits for the code.
I also used the stamp tool, as when rating the pieces, as if it was from a magazine, which made the piece look professional, and really up to date with the current media.
