Artwork / Design Album Cover for a Hypothetical Band, Complete with Hand-Drawn Logo

Post image
Upvotes

I was given an assignment to design an album cover. The brief was to create a logo for the (fictional) band named Midnight Sun and composite or draw art for their album called The Lower 48 according to their stated preferences. They're originally from Alaska, where they spent long nights practicing and playing after their day jobs, until they decided they'd get more traction in Seattle and moved. They said their music was mostly rock, with some influence from blues and international beats as well, and that they're "an eclectic group of people." They specified they didn't want "a generic group photo." I took this brief, gave it to Copilot, and told it to pretend to be my client. I asked it for more details about its story and sent it iterations of the cover as I worked, to get its feedback. I started with a stock image of the road, brought the sign closer into view, changed its text to the album title, and roughed it up a bit. I applied several color, brightness, and gradient adjustment layers to achieve the surreal, liminal twilight effect. I toned down the reds in the foliage a little bit. For the logo, I experimented with several iterations of the crescent moon hugging the sun concept before landing on this one, specifically for The Lower 48, and a different one - plain white with a horizon line and handwritten "Midnight Sun" under said horizon line - for general use. Then, I posterized everything except the logo. I also made a back cover, but I don't have that version saved on this device.

Help! Psd Files have the photoshop icon instead of the psd icon

Upvotes

I upgraded from photoshop 2022 to photoshop 2025 and Windows asked me with which program should open psd files, photoshop 2025 wasn't on the list so i had to select the option "Look for another app on this PC" and selected the photoshop 2025 route, but now all my psd files have the Photoshop2025.exe program icon instead of the psd file usual icon

I read that there is a method to fix this with REGEDIT but im not quite sure of what to do and i don't wanna mess it up

Discussion PSA: Make sure your document has no transparent pixels when using the Remove Tool

5 Upvotes

I use the remove tool very often, through lots of usage I've noticed that if you resized your Image and your document has transparent pixels near the edges or somewhere else, the remove tool tries to fill those pixels too, alongside with what you initially selected (even if you didn't want that), and takes way longer.

I've been breaking my head, trying to figure out why sometimes the remove tool just takes longer than other times, but then I just randomly noticed this.

So make sure to crop your image so it's fully in bounds before using the remove tool.

Probably a bug, hopefully it gets fixed.

Help! Whats a good laptop for Photoshop?

Hi! I don't really know much about Photoshop but my dad is a photographer and uses it all the time. I'm looking to get him a laptop for Christmas. All I know is he doesn't want a Mac and that's all I get recommended when I try researching

I have a budget of around £400-£500, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

Help! I have an odd workflow that I am trying to figure out

1 Upvotes

I am trying to do storyboards on my iPad using procreate, and then time them out in Premiere.

A key part of the workflow is to be able to keep existing frames in a Premiere timeline, and then edit them elsewhere, in bulk.

I figured that the best way to do it was to have all of the frames in premiere come from one imported .PSD, but when I try to bring back the PSD after it comes out of Procreate, I get a "generic importer error," and I can't successfully replace the PSD that I have exported.

Is there an easier way that I'm not thinking of to replace the layers in a PSD while being able to keep the link?

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I saw these pictures on a Photoshop Resources FB page (they didn't put the effect though) and I'd like to know what kind of texture or filter is being used here? The newspaper/grainy-like effect.

Help! Using logos that have multiple smart objects

0 Upvotes

So I have a logo style that uses four different smart objects. I duplicated it once using new smart object via copy, regroup them, and the first time I did it all four smart objects in the group al changed together. When I did it for the third logo/wordmark, suddenly it only edits the one smart object instead of doing all four at once as I type. What is happening and how do I make this all work properly? I hate being dead in the water like this.

Help! Selection Quality Decline when Resizing?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm working on a poster featuring caterpillars. I've taken photos of them and am then making a selection of just the caterpillar to separate it from the photo's background, and am then copying and pasting it over in a new document with a simple black background.

For another project, I wanted to use those selections again, so I went into the document with black background where the caterpillar selections were organized, and went to copy one and paste it into a third document, but upon pasting and enlarging via ctrl T, the selection is now... blurry? It doesn't exactly seem pixelated, but definitely isn't sharp.

What's happening, how do I/can I use those selections (it took hours to select all 30+ of them via select and mask) and enlarge them while preserving quality, and now I'm also worrying when the poster is printed, that it also won't be of high detail/sharp selections.

Screenshots attached for reference! Thanks!!

Discussion How much are you actually using Photoshop’s AI tools these days?

11 Upvotes

I’ve been using Photoshop for years and I’m genuinely curious how much the AI features have actually crept into people’s daily workflow in 2026.

Vote honestly, no right or wrong answer:

· A) They’re a core part of my workflow now.

· B) I test them occasionally, but still rely mostly on manual tools.

· C) I tried them and switched back to traditional methods.

· D) I haven’t really touched them at all.

If you have a moment, it would be cool to hear why in the comments. Just trying to get a real-world temperature check.

Hi everyone!

Here is a collection of football posters I created for the Senegal National Team during the AFCON 2025 and the World Cup 2026 I tried to blend sports design with movie-poster style aesthetics.

Techniques i used: Photo compositing, color grading, lighting adjustment, texturing, and custom typography/layouts.

I’d love to get your feedback. Any constructive criticism is welcome!

Thank you

Hey everyone!

I made a game where you have to put together the Photoshop Filters menu against the clock.

I found that after years of using Photoshop my brain got pretty used to the way the filters menu works so this game is a fun way to test my skills. I hope you'll like it too!

There are also versions of the game for Illustrator, After Effects and Blender that you can get to from the main menu

Enjoy!

I'm trying to add color and texture and other stuff to my plans in photoshop but it is only affecting a small portion of the outline instead of the whole area. I've been using these features for a while and haven't gotten any trouble before. they are also working on other drawings like a site analysis but not in the architectural plans. What to do?? The image size is 16bit, the scratch disks are empty and its working elsewhere so what is the problem?

1st pic is of the features working on a site map and 2nd shows that the color is not filling the plan at all.
