This is one of my projects independent of my graphic design class. In my AP Computer Science class, we were instructed to make a game in Java, and then make a corresponding CD cover and poster. My group decided that it would be a PS3 game, so I used a template for a PS3 cover that I found online to assist the creation process. I started off creating a logo in illustrator to set the tone of the game. Afterwards, I started working on the layout of the cover in illustrator, going back and forth from illustrator and Photoshop to edit the images used on the cover. I used actual screenshots of the game in the back and also used drawings of the characters made by another member of my group on the cover of the box. I was very pleased with the end result, as it looked like a legitimate video game cover.

Because I was pressed for time while making this cover, I did not go through the regular process that I do in my graphic design class for making a digital piece of art. Despite this, I was able to successfully create an appealing CD cover, which is an even bigger accomplishment due to the fact that it is one of my very few projects made outside of my graphic design class without any instruction from my teacher.
