Just as I did for my album's front and back cover, I created photo-strips for the inside covers. However, this time each strip was 2cm x 12cm, meaning there were to be six strips (two for each band member), with eight pictures per strip.
I created a 2cm x 1.5cm canvas for each picture.
Because I needed more pictures of each band member for the inside cover, I edited a few more pictures using the same effects on the same website (picmokey.com) that I had used previously. I opened up my first picture onto Adobe Photoshop CS4.
I copied and pasted the first picture into my 2cm x 1.5cm canvas, where I reduced the size of the picture to fit into that canvas.
Then I selected the small picture and copied it.
I pasted it onto the 2cm x 12cm canvas, then moved it to the top.
I then repeated this for the next seven pictures, until I filled up the whole photo-strip I copied this strip onto my 12 cm x 12cm canvas.
I then deleted four of the pictures from the first strip, and moved around the remaining pictures on the strip. Next I pasted in four different pictures of the same actor, still pulling silly faces. I then copied this new strip onto my 12cm x 12cm canvas.
After repeating these steps for four more photo-strips with the other two actors, I used the brush tool at a reasonably low opacity, in the colour brown, to give the whole thing a dark, brown tint.
I used a 'handwriting' style font to write a quote by the lead singer of the band, because it gives the quote a more personal feel. I used white for the font, to make it stand out more against the dark tinted background.
In realised that the type of font I used was a little bit hard to read, so I increased the boldness of it. I also added '-Beyonce' below the quote.
I did not increase the thickness of '-Beyonce', to make sure that the audience does not mistake her name for part of the quote.
This is my final inside cover 1.
