Final Piece
How I got there...
Firstly I opened photoshop and picked a document size of A4. Then added a black border using the shape tool. Then I edited it to make the line thick. Once this was done I opened my image in a separate page. With this image I put on a large square shape in an opaque beige colour at the bottom. With this colour I then used the erase tool and add a torn edge effect to my photo. I then dragged this over into my bordered page.
Once I had dragged it over I began adding design to the page. Firstly I dragged in the heart shaped and transformed then to the correct size and position. I then added the F letter (for Florence) in the top and bottom corners as this is what is found on cards. I then began on editing the text, adding drop shadows, changing the sizes, and positioning. Once this was complete, I made a block red shape, and added a torn paper look using the ease tool. I put this under the Band title to make it stand out from the page. This gives a statement look to the page.
I then began adding black box shapes. I kept these without effects as i wanted them bold but sharp on the page. With these boxes i changed the positioning and rotated them. Then put on the important text in white (contrasting colour) The image below shows a top hat slightly opaque in the corner. This was an experiment I tried but decided it was to much on the page and took focus away from the main image.
After this I came to my final piece which is shown at the top of the page. For this I added another black strip saying "Bonus Tracks" to fill in the large space. Then a faded white heart in the bottom corner with a slight drop shadow to make it stand out from the background. I found this was a simple effect but added depth to the advertisement.
