Album Covers


Album Covers

Album: Summer Afternoon, Summer Afternoon

Album: The World Is Full
Band: Theory

Album Covers I have designed, I did this by selecting a random image from Flikr to use as the album cover image. Then I selected a random page on Wikipedia and used the subject as the name of the band. After, I selected a random quote from the internet and used the first four words of the quote as the album name. I finally used this information to create an album cover on photoshop. I did this for each album.

On my first design I matched the colours of the image with the fonts, I felt that this was effective. I payed close attention to the font and design on the name of the band on the second design. I separated the name into two word, I demonstrated this using two different fonts. The third idea was very successful as the name of the band and album go well with the image, I found this was effective. On the fourth design I used a black and white image, so I thought it would look effective if i used slightly coloured tints on the lettering. My final idea feels most professional because i payed close attention to the back ground colours and developed them in my titles.

Introduction: Band Identity

I have been asked to design album covers, flyers and websites, as part of my Graphics Design And Interactive Media course. To do this I will use my logo design work, animation work and other Graphics Design work to complete this task.
