Final Version Of C.D Cover And Poster

Final Version Of C.D Cover And Poster

This is my final version of my C.D cover and poster. I decided to fill in the lettrers with blue on the poster that were difficult to read in the end, but left the rest as it was. As for the C.D cover, I used the shared image of the sun for both the first panel on my C.D cover and poster, but it was adjusted from the draft to a lighter colour, so that it all fitted in better. I also changed the production information, using some real examples as help.

Draft Two Of The Band Poster

I much prefer this version to my original effort, and It has all the conventions this time. The main problem with this though is that the writing is a bit hard to read, so a change of colour is required for the final version.

Working On The Digipack

I was trying to create some star shapes to do ratings for the band poster, but Photoshop didn't have a star autoshape, so I decided to edit one on Paint instead. I copied a picture off the net and started to change it so it was only a template, to avoid copyright issues.

Ancillary Draft Feedback

Do your C.D covers and posters match?
The main picture and the fonts on the front of the C.D cover matches the poster.

Does your work reflect your genre of music?
In my opinion my work does reflect our genre of music.

Have you produced an advert? Are all conventions apparent?
I have produced an advert and all the conventions are apparant but some things need improvements such as the production information where I need to actually write something. Also some layouts might need changing.

Have you produced a digipack?
I have produced a digipack but it just needs improving.

Ancillary Draft Feedback

A change to the original plan. All students must now submit seperate ancillary products to ensure equal input, fairness and equal assessment chances.

Do your C.D covers and posters match?
The main picture of the C.D cover and posters match, but there is an issue with the fonts matching. Also, the covers need some work to bring the lighting to a similar level.

Does your work reflect your genre of music?
My picture needs to be a bit lighter to reflect the genre better. For the picture though, I was aiming more at the title of the album, rather than focusing on the band themselves.

Have you produced an advert? Are all conventions apparent?
On my effort, all the conventions feature on the C.D cover and poster. However, there is an attention to detail that needs improving, such as the layout of the tracklist, and the content of the production information paragraph.

Have you produced a digipack?
As previously stated, all conventions have been completed, it's just lacking in the detail.

First Draft Completed Version

For the first draft, Mark and I went and created our own album poster and album cover. This is my version, where the main image is based on the heart which we made out of wood chippings. (See other posts).

On the album cover I have used the same sky background for the three panels. The text on it is easy to read and it gives a consistent look. I used the blinding sun picture because it refers to the album name, 'The Blinding Truth'.

The poster is based on my original idea for the album cover with additional information. I like it because it is a simple layout and all the text is clear and easy to read.

I like the visual impact that this will have.

We have to decide between Marks and mine for the final draft. We might ask other peoples opinions which poster and cover they think would be a better fit for our genre.

First Draft Completed Version

For the first draft, Catherine and I went our seperate ways and created our own album covers and posters. This is my version, which the main image is based around the picture of the sun on the horizon.

C.D. Cover Examples

This the album cover for the Avalanches, Since I Left You. I think this is good but it is not quite the type of thing that we would do because it is too busy and too dark and we want something brighter and more light hearted.
I like the way that the ship is spread out across all three panels inside the c.d. I might use this idea in my album cover.

C.D Cover Examples

This is the album cover for the Kings Of Leon, Youth & Young Manhood. I think that it's a bit of a boring album cover, and personally wouldn't like to try and do something similar. In the bottom picture on here, I do like the way the middle panel has a different image to the other two, whilst still fitting the colour pallet. As can be seen from our own attempts at creating an album cover, this is something we are doing.
