This has been made solely in Photoshop using a range of techniques. I first found the image that I wanted to use for the main background cover (below) and set the image size to 1370 pixels. I've used 1370 pixels as the measurement as that is the number that correlates with DPI of 300 and the size of a standard disk cover.
The next step I took was to duplicate a disk cover template into the image I selected for my cover. The template is a 116 millimeter circle with a 23 millimeter hole. I arranged this so that it was covering the part of the image that I wanted displayed on my disk and set the opacity to 20%. I inserted some text in the themed font I have chosen and duplicated in the logos for the rating, DVD and my production company logo.
For a finishing touch I wanted to add a scratched effect to the main image; I decided on using this image (below) to filter over the whole cover.
This has opacity set at 34% and I have used the filter Hard Light to obtain the desired result.
I've hidden the layer that contains the disk guide instead of removing it so that this can be shown upon checking the project.

This is the finished result;
Overall I am pleased with the outcome of this section of the project. I feel the layering effects that I have used work really well with the image that I chose and the decision to color the text white makes the whole piece very aesthetically striking.
