Album Cover

This is my album cover that I made in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. The pictures go in sequential order:

First I deleted the backgrounds of the images using erasers and color range selections. Next I Live traced both images seperately in illustrator. Then I combined the two in photoshop and made minor corrections. Last I imported the image as one unit into indesign, added a background and text with alterations.

I’m very happy with the result!

These are a couple objects we traced over for an illustrator exercise. We did these exercises to get familiar with the pen tool.

My first object was a radio:

Next was a coke bottle:

Last, I traced a lava lamp:

I came across some difficulties, especially when the angles were tiny. I think with more practice, this tool will prove its useful nature.
