Ext. Front Cover Editing - Photoshop Effects

To make my front cover more interesting I decided to try out some effects. I found a tutorial online on how to make a glitch effect on photoshop and thought it looked cool and fitted the style of the pictures as they are quite fresh and modern looking.

I began with the front cover I had already made. I duplicated the background picture twice. Then merged the new layers together.

Using the Rectangle Marquee Tool (M) I made thin horizontal rectangles in different areas of the image. I then used the move tool to shift them all left. This created the glitch effect.

After this, I decided that the artists name was a very important part of a front cover, I added the artists name underneath the top glitches. 

Overall, I think this front cover is much more interesting than the previous one and it includes the correct information that is needed on the front of a digital.
