Implementing text into Photoshop

As I wanted to have as many developments as possible whilst working to my deadline, I decided to experiment with different words and fonts. This font is a simplistic font which continues with the theme of straight lines. I also added a drop shadow and a highlight effect. In order to make the text stand out even more, I copied and pasted the text and placed it behind at a slightly off angle and changed it to a low opacity. This then highlighted the shadow more. Although I like this font, I feel this name for the CD is inappropriate. 


                                     
The text above is another experiment of possible text for my CD cover, however, I feel it looks a bit too harsh because of the font type and the drop and inner shadow edits. I feel this name may be a bit too obvious and I think I would rather have a name which suggests heartbreak as opposed to just saying it. 



I really like this font type because of the simplistic look. I used lower case to add more effect to the lines and continue with the natural theme. In order to create the extended lines, I used the scale tool. This enabled me to lengthen the lines as much as I wanted to create more effect. Although I really like the plain grey background, I think that an image would look better behind the text.
