Stage 2
- After altering the rubix cube, I began by creating the desired template I wanted on Photoshop as shown on the left hand side. I did this by using gradient tool to achieve a fade to black. This fade to black had to have enough depth, however not over power the rest of the design.
- After this, I simply added in the text, the title of the band and single, in the font "Gill Sans" which can be found throughout Bloc Party's own print work.
- Once I had the text title positioned, I moved onto the rubix cube by dragging and dropping the image onto a new layer. In this instance, using the magnetic lasso tool to select areas around the cube, I removed any image of the background from the initial photo, and used the eraser tool to remove any small sections of the original photo that the magnetic lasso failed to select.
- As you may notice, the rubix cube looks used and worn out after hours of use, with the labels beginning to peel off. To correct this, I utilised the clone tool to replace areas of the image using sections where the image is already correct. For example, the square in the bottom right corner is still a little too grey from the colour adjustment. After using the cloning tool, I replace this colour with the same image as in the middle square on the same side of the cube; As well as where any section of the image where the label began to peel away, I followed the same process.
