How I created my artwork using Photoshop

Firstly I started out with the provocative image which connotes obsession with money, glamour, perfection and sexuality, but also the symbolism of a generation of passive woman who are mearly dolls at the control of the media and social expectations. I think this image is extremely striking and would appeal to an audience who desire ground breaking music that deals with such issues in a post modern yet humorous way. 

 To enhance the quality of the image I adjusted the auto levels in photoshop.

I then edited the colour levels to give the image a hyperbolic, serial aesthetic and also darken the edges of the image to create a mysterious, gothic effect to echo the darkness that can come with such ideologies.

I continued this theme by using the blur and smudge tool to distort the money around the doll, again creating the effect of an altered reality.

To tie in with conventions of an album cover I have changed the lip colour using the zoom and brush tool to a deep red, this is due to the recurring symbol of red lips to induce sexual connection's used though out music videos and album artwork.

I then added text to synchronise with the colour scheme however this is a temporary name till we come up with better more suitable options for the song and genre. Additionally I have added a parent advisory label, also conventional of controversial music.
