Pictures for Cd Cover

I took this picture of some pigeons perched on the backrest of a bench. I like the way that the perched pigeons stand out from the rest of the pigeons. I think with some editing this picture  could look really good for a Cd Cover.



For this picture i looked up to an old post and caught some of the branches in the picture too. I think that is a good effect and looks quite dreary, i would like to edit it to make it in black and white if i were to use it for a Cd Cover.

 

I managed to get a shot of the pigeons flying overhead, i like this shot because it has motion in it. I think it would be a good Cd cover because the motion in a piture adds more to it, and flying birds can symbolise freedom, i think that that would be effective in a Cd Cover image.


For the image to the right. I took an average picture of a piece of the monument outside of the college. I think it has some good effect to it But it is quite dull and boring in creativity. I wouldn't use it for a CD Cover but i was experimenting different possibilities.

Cd Cover

We were given a piece of paper with a name for an album on it, and we were told to go out and take pictures that were relevant to use to design a Cd Cover using that title. We thought it would be appropriate to take pictures in the town centre on the streets and down the alleyways. We took several pictures but i thought it was best to use this one. I edited the image on photoshop and used the threshold effect to add this black and white shadowed effect to the image, i like the way the bricks look using this effect. I then added the title and artist of the album. I think that this turned out well and i am pleased with how it looks. 

Music Poster Design

This is the Music Poster i designed, I used a technique of adding illustrations on top of a photograph. I went out and took a picture of an old church tower, then i used photoshop to make it black and white. I then drew in the images using illustrator. I tried to make them look cute and colorful to go with the title i chose, Cartoon Motion, so i made the images and text on top look cartoonish. I like the way this turned out. I looks cute and unique the way i wanted it, but the images could be a lot better.

Existing Music Posters

This is a poster for a Slipknot tour. It has an image of the band, which shows viewers what the poster is for. I like the use of color in this poster because the band is a metal band, dark colors suit the theme that the band set through their music.

I like this poster, because of the bright colors, they stand out from the black background. I think that the poster is cute and appealing. The many colors catch the eye of the viewer. 

This poster is for the download festival, it has a variety of different bands playing Alternative music. I like the illustrations around the boarder of the poster, it makes the poster more interesting. It has a lot of text for information but it is an appealing for the type of people it is aimed at. The dark colors work well.

Other Album covers

This is the album cover for the band 'Green Day'. The color of the CD cover is well set, having the two people in black and white surrounded by a bright yellow and orange background makes them stand out more. I think that is a good technique to use. It also looks like the CD cover has been spray painted onto a wall, that suits the music well as they are a punk band. The cover represents the album well too, because the songs on the album are about a couple named Christian & Gloria, i think it is good to try and show what the album is about through the cover.

Other album covers

This is an album cover for the band 'My Chemical Romance'. I like the way this one has been designed. It has a couple about to kiss covered in blood, this suits the band well as most of their songs are about tragic romance. The color scheme works well too, having black, white and red makes the red blood stand out more and adds a good effect.

Existing Katy Perry album covers

 These are two album covers of Katy Perry, there are bright colors involved and mostly Pink. I think that adding the color pink to our album cover would be a good idea because it would look more like a Katy
Perry album if we do. The color scheme suits the type of music she produces and that works well. These examples will help inspire our Cd cover a lot through designing.

Intro to Cd cover

We are going to design a CD cover for our band. And we are also designing a music poster using photographs we have taken. I think we should make ours unique and creative. They must also be appealing and relevant to the style of music audience that they are aimed at. Our CD cover is for a Katy Perry album. So i think bright colors would be appropriate for the album cover.

Music Poster

We were told that we are making posters for music and to research existing posters. I chose this picture. I chose it because i like the bright use of color, it catches the eye of the viewer and keeps their attention with the combination of different pictures. I think that this is an appealing poster and it is a good design. I like how the poster is strange and unique in its design.
