Completed CD Wrap

This is the completed CD wrap...

There's not much I had left to do with the CD wrap apart from add a couple of things to it.

Firstly, I added the text 'Disk 1' as there was going to be two disks within my DVD product so I had to clearly state which CD was which. I created a new layer and named it 'Disk 1' so I knew what it was. I then created the text by clicking on the 'T' symbol on the at the left hand side of the window. I used the same thought that I had been using throughout, 'Perpetua' and kept the text white to keep with the colour scheme that I had been using. I decided to put the text just under the band logo and the title of the DVD as it was easily noticeable and would be the first place the audience would look for the text. I thought it would look slightly 'random' just plonking it at the bottom of the wrap. 

Also, I decided to ass some copyright text, which I had gotten off another CD. This was quite fiddly to do and took quite a while for me to get it how I wanted it and in the right place. 

I started out by created a new layer and drawing a new circle by using the 'ellipse tool'. Once I drew the circle, it wasn't the right size so I went to the 'Transform' and 'Scale' option at the menu at the top and adjusting the circle and moving it so it fitted just within the original CD circle. As soon as I had got the circle to the right side, I clicked in the 'T' on the menu at the left, so that I could add some text, and clicking the outer rim of the circle I had just created. I copied the text from my blog, where I had added the copyright information previously. I then pasted the text and  it went round the inner circle. 

I wasn't happy with some of the text as it didn't fit perfectly round the circle how I had envisioned. So, I went to the 'Transform' option at the menu at the top again and clicked the 'Warp' option. This allowed me to move the text slightly by dragging out the boxes it had created around the text, making the text go round the CD in a more even manner. Also, I went to "Transform' again and then selected 'Rotate' as the text wasn't positioned in the right place around the CD. I used this tool to the the text so that where the text line finished and ended at either side of the CD, were at the same point and even, and that the text was more centred. 

I used the same style font, 'Perpetua', that I had used throughout my work and chose the colour white like before, so that it went with the colour scheme I was using. I kept the text reasonably small, as the text I had seen other CD's was considerably small in comparison, as it wasn't suppose to stand out, just be there for legal purposes.
