Making the magazine on Photoshop

I have started to create my poster on Adobe Photoshop. The "atmosphere" of Rubarth's album is very homely and about self-satisfaction. The album's sound is less to be compared to "glamour" but more to do with it being "mellow" and "relaxed". This is the type of record that would be listened to at home on warm late-spring and summer days. I have decided to make the background old, wooden flooring. These were some of the choices.

Out of the three types of wooden flooring, I picked the darkest and stretched it to fit the International Paper size.








I have put on an old frame to represent "old memories" and the autumn leaves from the album cover and old lined paper from the album cover also. This makes the poster and album synchronous. It all represents a theme of nostalgia, self-belief and rebirth (the seasons).

To this, I will be adding in:
  • A picture of the digipak
  • A picture of "Amber Rubarth" in the photo frame
  • Old music sheets
  • Record label logo
  • Text with information about the album
  • Where the album is available; iTunes, Play.com, etc.
