Album Ideas

 

The two images above are a few of our main ideas for the front of our album cover, as you can see from both ideas the image is the same as is the typeography. We have decided that the text on the ideas will be the one that we use when creating the whole digipak. In the first idea the text is large, which can be seen as a little overpowering from the audience prehaps taking the much needed attention away from the album art. The brightness of the image has also be toned down a little, we wanted to experiment with different contrasts and brightness to see what would look most effective and realistic for our target audience. We then decided to do another idea the second image, which you can see the text is smaller and fits well in the sky, the text does not draw away the attention of the audience but at the same time will make them look at the text to see who the album is created by. We learned about the 'Z' which is something an audience do, firsty looking at the top of the album, then in a diagonal line after going straight to the bottom. We have incopriated this into the second image, making the text still a main focus but less prominant letting the audience focus on the image used (linking to the lovers eyes music video.) The image is also brighter than the first image, it does make the album cover seem more eye catching and the surrounding and features of the shot stand out more. We will be looking at other ideas for our album cover, and developing our thoughts.
