Step by Step of Poster/Digipak

Poster:

1.  I started off with paint, and had used a lighter tone of black for the background.
2. Looking into other indie bands, I liked the idea of the white border, to have the fans glued to the middle of the page focusing on the band then looking elsewhere. (Did again with paint) 
3. With the font, it was easy enough to again stick too paint and see what matched, as a group we went back and forth with different fonts and decided Lucida Handwriting and Roman Apprentice worked well with each other. 
4. With the circle, I used photoshop, in which I got photos off the internet of different flowers, and had cropped them in a circular shape, making sure to make them different layers, and once I had done that with one of the photos, I did the exact same with the second. I then placed the layers on top of each other. I did this till I got to the same width and length of our first logo. I also used a brightening tool on Photoshop to make the red flowers pop against the blue background. Also with every other red circle, I blurred them, I was just going through each effect within photoshop and it seemed blurring every other red flower circle just worked.
