DVD Label: Clipping Mask

 

Originally I wanted to have the right side of the label in the following layout.

But I changed my mind on this, instead I decided to copy a design element from m=my second mock up DVD design, Instead I would use the whole side as a clipping mask to show a star field, and have the logo placed on top of this background.

To create the mask I first downloaded a star field that I found on Google Images, before adding the image I selected the two shapes and used the Unite tool to join these shapes into one object.

I then added the imported the image into the ai workspace with file – import.

The next step was to open the layers window with window – layers

with the layers window I draged the shape over the image, selected both and pressed

You can then see the difference in the layers.
