I chose the image of my actors drinking wine to go on the left insert as it is cheeky and fun, and makes the consumer feel privileged and cared for.
I used the magic wand to remove the background, then used the background eraser and burn tool to blend the edges, especially the hair, into a plain black background. I created the background by using the paint bucket tool to turn the whole background black in one click.
I wanted to keep my inserts quite simple, as it is unconventional to overly edit CD inserts. However, with just an image on a plain background, it looked a bit too plain. After gaining some audience feedback from my teacher, I decided to include a quotation from the song on the image. I chose this particular quote because I feel like it represented the message behind the song well with an added sense of humour.
Right Insert
I decided to use a screenshot from the music video for my right insert, as it was only going to be covered by the disk so there was no point using an intense, purpose-built shot. I really like this shot as it has jazz elements such as the microphone and piano, and it also shows my protagonists dancing which represents their warmth and friendship, which is appealing to a jazz audience.
CD Design
Similar to the spine, I wanted to keep my CD plain as it is unconventional to have a fancy CD design.
I began by dragging over the artist's names over from my album cover, to ensure continuity and synergy. I then skewed and warped the text to give it curvature to match the round shape of a disk.
Similarly, I dragged over the song title, again to ensure continuity and synergy.
