Making back cover
- 2. Institutional We have added usual conventions of a CD back cover such as: information Track list We changed the colours of the track In order to make list to yellow because we wanted it look more them to stand out against the realistic we added background image and make it easier institutional for audiences to trace through when information so looking for a particular song. Also, that audiences the band is called ‘The colours’ so we know that its not decided to use bright colours for the accepted if they typography on the back cover copy right the songs. We made the font red later spine on, because the colour red has connotations of Barcode warning, highlighting the Record label/company: fact that We used our first initials of our names to come up with a name for a audiences should record company. The typography we used is different than the other not copy. fonts on the back cover. The reason why we have done that is because we wanted it to make it more stand out and eye catching. In addition, we also put a stroke around the letters to make it stand out even more.
- 3. • The pose we have chosen for the back cover is similar to the Artic Monkeys pose on one of their album covers. We believe this pose looks very natural as two of the band members look away from the camera. However, Jordan (middle) looks into the camera in order to show audiences that he is the lead singer. Similarly we made him pose in the middle so that audiences easily can recgonise him as a lead singer.
- 4. We blurred the background so that it would look more professional, rather then two separate images. We asked audiences if they realised something unusual about the background cover and the replied no so therefore we knew that blurring them together works out successfully. The • We cropped out a part of the background from another similar picture we toke on brightness and contrast of the background image was also the same day and merged it together lowered so that the bright colours would be more with the previous image that we already outstanding and eye catching. had. The reason why we did this is because the image was too small and if we would have stretched out the image, the band members would overlap with the song titles.
- 5. • The albums name is called canvas and in order to emphasis this, we decided to make the image look as if it has been painted on a canvas. • Another idea we had was to have the background of the image cut out so that the canvas can clearly be seen. Although this made the typography stand out, the final product did not look finished. It was also very difficult to get the edges of the image to bled in with the image of the canvas. The rough edges made the album look unprofessional.
