Recreating A CD

Font Of CD Case

Back Of CD Case

CD Cover

This is a remake of the Metallica album, Master of puppets. For this project I had to create a font cover, a back cover, and a CD cover. I made all of these based on the album but with my own style. I did this project using fireworks. The whole idea was that "Master Of Puppets" made me think about someone controlling the government so that's what I based my CD recreation on.

Journal week 16

Monday: Today I finished the back of my cd case and worked on my cd design.

Tuesday: Today I finished my cd design.

Wednesday: Today I helped some other people with their projects since I was done mine.

Project Proposal

I propose to recreate a CD cover for Metallica's Master of Puppets Album.  On the front I plan to put a remade master of puppets cover with the puppeteer over rows of crosses. Ont the back will be a different POV of the same picture. The CD itself will have the band name and colouring.

Photoshop Q&A

What are the five key decisions involved in creating a new image?
Image Name, Image Width and Height, Image Resolution , Image Mode , and Image Contents

Why edit images in 24-bit color depth if ultimately they will be 8-bit images on the Internet?
If you work in a bit-depth of 8, many of Photoshop ’s advanced features, such as using Filters , resizing images, and re-coloring images are either not available or do not operate effectively.

Why would you use the Magnification /Navigation controls?
They allow you to edit the small details in an image and zoom in on your image content.


What does double-clicking the zoom tool do? 
Double-clicking the Zoom tool automatically sets your image to 100% magnification.

What happens when you hold down the space bar in Photoshop while the pointer is over an image window?
holding down the space bar makes the hand tool available no matter which tool you are currently using.


What is a Snapshot  in the History Palette ?
The Snapshot  is a record of the image complete with all the modifications you have performed on it.

What are states in the History panel?
A record of all changes made to the image or snapshot.

Does the image window display the physical demensions of an image?
If you hold down the Alt (option) key while clicking on the document information section, a pop-up window will display it.

How is opening a vector file in Photoshop different from opening a bitmap file?
The Rasterize Generic EPS Format dialog will be displayed and you must set the width, height, resolution and colour mode you want to work in. Once you set these options and click OK, Photoshop will convert the vector image to pixels.

 

Television Production

A TV program produced in one country can't automatically be viewed in many other countries without converting it to a different technical standard. These technical differences relate to both incompatibilities in equipment and in the approach to broadcasting the audio and video signals.
Some 14 different SDTV  (standard definition) broadcast TV standards have been used at different times throughout the world. They can be reduced to three primary groups:
  • NTSC (National Television System Committee)
  • SECAM (Sequential Color and Memory)
  • PAL (Phase Alternating Line)
Within these there are two major differences:
  • the total number of horizontal lines in the picture (525 or 625 for standard definition or SDTV) and 1,125 and 1,250 for high-definition TV (HDTV)
     
  • whether the transmission rate is 25 or 30 frames (complete pictures) per-second

    Aspect Ratios 

    >>Although the number of scanning lines may have varied, until recently all television systems had a 4:3 aspect ratio. The aspect ratio is the width-height proportion of the picture.
    The 4:3 ratio (note red box in the photo on the right) was consistent with motion pictures that predated the wide screen aspect ratios used in CinemaScope, VistaVision, and Panavision. When the HDTV standard was introduced it also made use of this wider (generally, 16:9) aspect ratio.
    In the picture here, the wider area (just inside the blue borders) represents the 16:9 ratio used in HDTV. Compared to the 4:3 ratio, this aspect ratio conforms to the wider perspective of normal human vision.
