My voice is nearly gone T.T It's so annoying. I don't know if it's because of the slight cold, or if it's another infection. Don't know if it has to be treated, or if it will go away. Meh, decisions.
Anyways, I started working later than usual and the first thing I worked on was the business card and demo cd for L.A records. I had to make the logo pop on the red background. Tried a few methods like adding a black border and I wanted to smooth it out, but couldn't find an option.
I also tried to add a black border and transparant it, but it couldn't go into a circle. I tried using a smudge tool as the black border was too distracting and I wanted to fade it into the background, but the smudge tool is so different from Photoshop. This doesn't smudge at all, it only extends the logo with hard edges.
I went back to experimenting with a lot of transparant styles, but the supervisor said: Get rid of the black border.
Eventually I found the option to use a shadow. I could change the color, size and where I wanted it.
This helped, it does give a subtle black circle on the background to help the red logo stand out.
The size was a bit too big so I had to adjust it, but now it's fine. The supervisor added a small hairline around the white text and then it was good.
I also had to work on the demo cd. Selecting songs from artists and selecting a 30 second snippet.
We only selected the artists so far and the supervisor let me know the order he wanted it in. I had to listen to the previous one and got told I will get to voice the intro! When my voice is back of course.
I will have to work on this today or tomorrow. It at least has to be finished this week.
We left it and moved on to the graphic design. I changed the names and functions on the business card and we changed the cd lable. I let him know I liked the simplicity of the cd as the colors are doing its work, but he wanted the names on there. As there were too many names and uneven total he changed his mind about the purpose of the demo cd. Instead of focusing on the artists, it´s more about the production.
We added contact info and that was that. The lable was done.
