Research and planning cd cover

Today I started making this CD cover from using Adobe Photoshop. firstly, I opened the background window then opened the CD.psd and used the 'elliptical marquee tool' to cut the CD outline and drag it to the background. Then, I changed the colour of the CD to purple using the 'image' toolbar then 'adjustments'. Next, I opened the horn window and cut out the horn to drag it over to the background, I did this using 'magic wand tool' then selected the white background then clicked on the 'select similar' then 'select inverse'. Then, I adjusted the horn and the CD how I wanted it on the background to personalize it. Also, I added my name on the CD cover using 'horizontal type tool' and added shading to my name. I did this by clicking on 'layer' then 'layer style' then 'drop shadow' then I adjusted the shadow thickness, amplitude etc. Finally, I edited the background style by clicking on 'filter' then 'distort' then 'wave' and then adjusted the background how i wanted it. During the process of using the Adobe Photoshop I came across a few mistakes like cutting out the CD and the horn and placing it on the background.
