My final ACDC album cover remake:
I chose to redesign this album cover because I really like the original artwork, but I thought that I could do a lot of things with it to make it really unique. The original cover didn't really represent the title Black Ice in my opinion, so I wanted to create something that did. I did want to keep the format of my cover similiar to that of the original. When I think of 'black ice' I didn't think of the kind of ice you see on the road when the weather is really bad, but I thought of a really cool cave in the middle of Antarctica. I also overlayed it with a grunge background to give it some texture. Next, I found a sketch of ACDC, deleted the background and overlayed it onto my ice background. I used the pen tool in Illustrator to cut out the letters and the lightning bolt from the ACDC picture and then edited them in Photoshop. (On a side note, the pen tool is becoming easier to use with more practice). I used the Bevel and Emboss and Outer Glow tools to make the text stand out from the background. I just added 'Black Ice' in a simple font and used a Gradient overlay and Outer Glow effect. I added a grain filter and then I just played around with the Brightness/Contrast, Curves and Exposure tools to create the exact look that I wanted.
