My CD Progress..

My CD in progress:

Progress 1: 

For my CD background picture i have used an existing primary photo which is also positioned on my album. The reason why i picked this photo is because it is a light colour so my black text will stand out more but it also keeps the continuity of my whole album as it fits in with the 'wood scene' to make it appear abstract. Picture is seen below.

Progress 2: 

I have added the artist name and album name onto the CD. With the 'Quick Selection Tool' i grabbed a small part of the picture where the branches are reaching towards eachother and the background is very light. And put it over the CD, i changed the opacity to 20% so it looked faded. And with the quick selection tool i was able to cut around the picture making it into a circular shape. The edges look rough and wavey but i like the messy look it creates and think it adds to the abstract look of my album. 

Progress 3:

This is my first draft of my actual CD:
