Ideas for CD cover

I looked at Rihanna’s CD covers since the original artist for my chosen song is Rihanna. They are all close ups, which I like as you can see the expression on her face. Her make up, style and pose all link into what her albums are called. For example on ‘LOUD’ she has bright red hair and red lips that is vibrant and could be described as ‘loud’. Then on take a bow she is much more natural and has her head bowed down.

The back of the album cover for ‘LOUD’ is faded and not as bright as the front cover, although the red her and red bar on the left hand side stand out against the soft pink.

Conventions of CD back cover: - List of songs- Barcode - Record labels- Copyright logo and explanation - Usually have numbers next to the song track

Adverts for magazines

My favourite poster is the one in the middle of Madonna because it really stands out and has a lot going on, but is not too over the top. For example the blues and purples calm the reds down and against the black background which them more noticeable. Madonna also has a really tough looking face on this image, then has a lot of softer, contrasting faded images made up of her face from the past covering over the top.

Fonts For Digipak

Chosen Font

I decided to choose this font because it has a softer, curvier edge to it that links in with the image of my talent as she has a soft effortless expression. I found that the other fonts I looked at where too hard and tough which didn’t match the song or my talents face on the album cover. Now my audience wont miss interpret the song for being something that its not, for example being a faster, harder song instead of a slower and more calm song that ‘Stay’ is.
