Final digipack idea

I have decided not to use morphing effects in my digipack, instead using photos of myself and using Photoshop to change the pictures to black and white and add text.
 
 
The text I can create on the website dafont.com
 

I think that my digipack should look ok now that I've got the hang of using Photoshop.

New digipack Ideas

I am keeping my photoshop face morphing idea, however I am going to use it in self portrait form. This is influenced by Aphex Twin, who often uses distorted versions of his own image in his music videos and album covers.

1st Photoshop experiment

I am almost totally useless on computers. So, for my digipack design, I have to learn how to use photoshop. So I am currently experimenting with how Photoshop works so I can understand how to do things.

First I learned how to strect and morph images by watching a video on Youtube.




I used this new knowledge to experiment with a picture of Marilyn Monroe (the same picture I will be morphing for my front cover, when I am better at it) and stretched some of her facial features in order to make the picture look surreal and freaky.
 The picture sterted off like this


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And I transformed it into this:

It looks a bit crap, but it is only a first attemt and is mainly just to show what my idea for the digipack is.
