Learning to use Photoshop

I found that spending one lesson learning how to use Photoshop was not enough for me and I needed to learn outside of lesson time as I was very confused and still didn't know how to use the tools on the software properly. Like any normal teenager I went onto YouTube and watched tons of tutorial videos which helped me understand how to use some of the tools better. 

Here are the links to some of the videos I watched which I found to be useful. From these videos I got an idea of how to change colours, how to remove backgrounds and other useful facts.

I have spoken about this is my research blogs but this is a short list of my mise-en-scene

• Black and white possibly grey colour scheme  
• Thin, Simplistic font 
• mid shot of my artist in the front with her name and her album name on top. 
• The ideas of having roses scattered around (Maybe)
• The inside panels will have a image of her looking away from the camera whereas on the cover it will have an image of her looking directly a the camera as she is a new artist and needs to be easily recognised. 
• The CD will be black with recognition of the Record Label company and the copy right 
• The advertisement will have the same theme so the audience can make link backs to the album cover but a different image may be used
• The dates of the concert and the release of the album will be bold and easily visible
