I followed a similar technique in editing the front, back, and inside cover as they all have the picture of the artist. As it's all in black and white, one would assume that not a lot of work went into it but I focused a lot on making the pictures look refined.
I desaturated the picture first, as they weren't taken in monochrome setting. And I played around with colour balance on photoshop to bring out the blacks in the picture. I also used the paint brush tool to enhance some of her features and to paint over her lips and eyebrows to make them look darker.
To make the artist stand out more, I underexposed the background by selecting it with the quick selection tool. I also applied iris blur on the pictures to blur out the background. Lastly, I added a white frame to create a contrast and so the covers pop out and attract the audience.
For the text, I followed the procedure in these tutorial videos:

For the CD, I downloaded a flower doodle from the internet, and traced over it with my friend's wamcom tablet and i tweaked some details to make it my own.nI layered it over the CD PNG file and used an elliptical marquee tool to cut out the centre and then layered that, along with the other pictures, onto the digipak.
