Album Design Funky Page Curl in Photoshop
![]() |
The majority of Mark’s album deigns will start with a simple presentation and finish with a similar feeling, however when you need to get more abstract in the page layout your Photoshop skills will be put to the test. Edge EFX can help an image, moving them to the next level but at the same time if done badly it can also detract. So the key skill here, even with funky album design is knowing when to stop and remember that at times less is more. Covers – Hue & Saturation, Cropping, Free Transform, Warp Transform, Masking, Erasing, onOne Software PhotoFrame, Layers, Page Layout, Drop Shadow |
