Poster

In order to complete my full tasks, I needed to create a poster too in which allowed people to see the release of the CD. In order to make my poster I stuck to the pop genre using bright colours, such as yellow. I had black writing which allowed the font to be easily read; I ensured it was big for this reason also. My main image is a picture of the person who is in my music video. This is because I want her seen as the person who created it, to the left of this post is my finished poster, click on it to make it bigger.

CD cover – Final

This is my final CD cover, for my pop song, ‘Should of said no.’ I chose a close up as the main image as it allows the listeners to know who the artist is, she is looking straight into the camera which welcomes the audience in. she is wearing white and black which makes her look sophisticated. The name of the artist is in the top left hand corner, I used the same font that I used for my poster in order to keep the genre the same, the name of the CD is below the artists name again in the same font as on the poster, I used yellow to write this is as it keeps is a bright colour and people will be able to see it from far away. I made my CD cover on photoshop and used butterfly brushes around the titles, this helps to keep the pop theme, and makes the CD cover look professional. Click the image to make it bigger.

The first thing you do when making your CD cover is to plan what colour you want your background. I chose to have mine grey. The colour scheme for my CD cover is grey. Black and blue here is a picture of how to create a new document and change the colour of it on photo shop.

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.
