Amaray DVD Paper Sleeve - Putting All Together First Attempt

Importing background

(Cg Textures, 2013)

After importing to photoshop

Editing and importing flood warning sign

(MKalty, 2008)

Modified upper image using Selection Tools and Refine Edges.

Imported layer with the FLOOD image stored in the right upper side. Then added level layer, to make everything darker, because may point to make paper sleeve darker, because it is disaster movie and leave white waves white, complete different contrast from remaining papers sleeve, because water and waves, ice and cold are main surrounding background theme of this movie. 

Title

Using tutorial from (Photoshop Road Map, 2013), I did chose this tutorial because I wanted to add some cold, white and blue colors title on the dark paper sleeve contrast. In this tutorial shows how to do snow painting and ice texturing.

So using "Horizontal Typing Tool" I did write movie title "A Chance To Survive". Font size 48pt. and font type "Papyrus".

Following tutorial i did change settings on my title layer

Bevel & Emboss

Inner Glow

Satin

Pattern Overlay

Drop Shadow

 This image was used for title letters background.
(HD Wallpappers, 2014)

 Image was opened in to the Photoshop image editor. Then selected square of snow using selection tool and refined to new layer. Then new layer was duplicated and copied to the paper sleeve project.

 We can see square of snow was moved over the title and was created "Clipping Mask" to the under layer which is title of movie.

In this image we can see "Clipping mask" effect result.

Using eraser tools and selecting special effect/form eraser, there was made cracks on the letters.

So last preview and the added snow on the title, using Brush tool with special effect/form.

Film description area

Texture which i downloaded, using photoshop we can see how did I change it in the following image.

(Motion Texture, 2013)

To get those changes I did use hue/saturation and transparency effects. 

So changed image was imported  to the main paper sleeve project. I did add red borders and movie description text.

Waves and Oval sign

To create "True life stories..." sign, I used different color Ellipse tool to create 3 circles and attached text to it.

To create waves I did draw line using Line tool, then added Anchor points and played to get wave effect. Then I duplicated layer to get another line of waves.

Spin panel text

Using Vertical Type tool I did write movie title on the spin panel. Then using different effects managed to get quite interesting font texture.

Customer information area

Copy Rights, Bar Code, 12A and DVD 

Bar code, DVD and 12A images I did download and stored at the bottom of my papers sleeve, because in most of the amaray style paper sleeve examples they are stored there. I think that most customers now days are used to this interface.

Copy Rights text was added on the black color rectangle which is attached to the rest of symbolic bar.

Front Cover Images

The original images was opened in the Photoshop, then using "Elliptical Marquee Tool" was selected circle of required area to crop. Then using "Refine edges" and adjusting edges smooth, feather and contrast I did crop to new layer. New layer was duplicated copying it in to my Paper Sleeve project. So all those images are in separate layers making them possible easy edit or delete.
