I then took to Adobe Photoshop and used the basic editing software available to me to slightly edit the appearance of Seb's painted face with the small editions over the mouth and eyes to allow the image to appear more psychedelic and abstract.
Taking this edited PDF forward I began to use the research I had conducted on psychedelic album art and psychedelic art in general and started to create design ideas for the cover of my digipak. The use of the repetition of the same image is one commonly used in psychedelic art as bold patterns are common place. I brought this idea forward with my own image as a design idea.
Using Adobe Photoshop once more I took the edited image and using the quick selection tool highlighting the facial area and dissuading the background. I then adjusted the image using the Hue and Saturation dial, this allowed me to change the colours of the face paint on Seb's face.
After adjusting the Hue and Saturation levels to one that brightened the colours originally present in the image but slightly adjusting them to appear more fluid and almost neon (in keeping with the colour scheme commonly seen in psychedelic art). I then set about using Photoshop to edit the image further. Using filter adjustments to add to the psychedelic aesthetic.
