I have now looked at a few CD covers within the country music/pop and discovered on the front of them this is always:

• A main image usually of the artist- mid shot.
• The name of the artist in big bold writing
• The album name
• Bright colours Such as yellows.
• A one block colour background.

I now have to start designing my CD cover in order to do this I am going to take photos of the person who will future in my video Lorna Baker. Using one block colour as the background prossibly white, and making her look very pretty and feminine. On up coming posts you will see how I managed to design a CD cover and use an original image on the front cover.
