Album cover Skills Development
Follow the task of links that produced a random word for the artist/bands name, a random selection from a quote for the album name and a random link follow to a random image to produce an album. This abled me to focus of simply the look of the album. Ive taken thought that the look of the album should appeal to as many people as possible, to suit the genre as well and stand out to other albums on sale.
I chose my font around the image that i got, that the calming photo looked to me as a calming, instrumental album. So with the photo i made it appeal to new listeners by editing it into partly black and white, it allows it to stand out from many other album covers. The style of text used i thought was suitable for my genre. It didn't harshen the photo, i kept it in black because it was easy to read and to stand out.
For the spine, i looked at how CD's are shown from the side when on sale.
This shows that the spine can be just as important as the rest of the artwork. Artists who know they will produce a certain amount of albums, they will create an image that is designed to fit along when all the albums are placed all together. I changed the text on the spine so that it is clear when represented like the image above.
My back cover, i converted the black and white the other way around. So that it kept a theme through the album, i kept the name of the album incase it's every shown backwards people are able to see the art of the album, that the thought has gone throughout the whole album.
If there was one thing that i could change about the way i have done about my album, is that the name of the songs are hard to read, so i would of taken more time into how i could make it more readable with colour clashes.
