Photoshop construction process (Advertisement)

This was the original picture that I wanted to use and the original background colour but it just seemed too dull for my liking so I decided to start again from scratch.

 

I started with a blank canvas and filled it dark green. Then I went on a colour wheel tool and added saturation to end up with different blends of green. Then I used the gradient tool to fade the background and then placed my chosen image onto the advertisement and erased its original background.

Then,  I added the artists name onto my adertisement and used the bevel and stroke tool to manipulate the lighting within the text.

Afterwards, I added a text entitled 'out now' onto my advertisement and placed it at the bottom. Then I adjusted the glow of the text to make it stand out.

Then I added the album name as well as featured hits to my advertisement to attract fans who have heard the songs. 

Next, I added in music icons such as spotify, itunes and google play so that fans know where they can purchase the album. I also added in a picture of the front of the album cover and also the website at the bottom right hand side of the advertisement.

Then I added in the record label logo. And added a drop shadow on the artist to make her more 3D. I moved the shadow to the right to make it look more realistic.
