CD Front cover

This is the front cover of my CD, I am pleased with the final product as I feel that it sets the tone for the music. I think the visual effect of the girl standing on the slope reflects the slope of a mountain. The distortion of the image makes it look like she wouldn't be able to stand but the way the camera has been tilted give the effect that makes it look like she shouldn't be able to be standing upright.
The setting of this image was key that it was outside in a forest and on a slope, this surrounding that the picture has been taken in creates the tone that I was looking for. The combination of lighting, setting and camera angles. 

The way I did the spirits coming out of the girl was by using photoshop. Firstly I selected the brush tool and set the master diameter to 10px and the hardness to 0% 

I then unlocked the layer and added a layer mask.

I then zoomed in and used the bush tool to outline the girl accurately. The next step was then going back to the original background image and overlaying the image and then duplicating the image onto a separate layer, I then zoomed in so I could see the pixels and I cut arounde new layer onto the image. To give the effect of the spirit leaving the body I made it gradually get more and more  distant and less visible, I did this by duplicating the later and each time it got further away I lowered the opacity.
