Photoshop Technique's

Here is a screenomatic explaining  a technique i used in Adobe Photoshop so that I could practice for when making my own CD cover,  In this video it will show how to blur a picture and then how to clear  a selected area that it will stand out form the rest of the blurred image, also on how to make colour changes such as brightness and contras to the image.

Here is an design that my group created as a practice o Photoshop, we used various tools such as the crop tool or the lasso tool, We added text and also the record company logo which would feature on any real CD cover.
