Front Cover Construction Process Video


This video shows the separate stages of the construction process which I went through to create my final front cover. The software used produce it was 'Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0', 'Cinema 4D' and 'Corel Draw Graphics Suite'.
What can be seen in the video (in order):

1) The original photo which was used to produce the cover

2) The background has been cut out of the picture

3) Abstract 3D shape used to obscure the models face

4) Shade and background images added

5) Visual effects applied (smoke, fire, sparks, cracks and flare)

6) 3D masthead added at top of page

7) Custom made splatter effect and overlay for the title applied

8) 3D main cover line text placed over splatter effect

9) Strapline, Cover lines, Puff and other text added

10) Barcode with price, date, issue and fake copyright information placed
