2. After researching Florences most popular CD covers, we
noticed certain things that were a reoccurring theme and we decided
we were going to incorporate these in our own CD cover:
Florence uses a black border around the front of her CD covers,
this maybe could show a contrast between the bright colours and
flamboyant costumes of the artist.
The photograph on the front of the CD cover usually mirrors the
themes included in the lyrics. As the lyrics mention a lot about
stars and moons we want to incorporate this somehow in our
own.
Florence herself is the main attraction in the front cover so we
will use the person playing our main character as the front
cover.
3. Projection of forest to match our ideas for a music video.
Back of the CD cover just a picture of the stars in space.
The main girl laying on the bed asleep with fairy lights all around
her. Symbolizing our idea of the music video being a dream
A photo of the main girl in our music video behind a projection of
stars creating a magical effect.
Ideas
A picture of someones eyes edited on Photoshop so that there's
pictures of stars inside the eyes giving it a magical effect. This
could symbolize the line A falling star fell from your heart and
landed in my eyes.
A photograph of the girl standing in a forest in bare feet
dancing.
A photo of the main character looking over a boys shoulder with
stars in her eyes again. I took the stars from your eyes and then I
made a man
4. We edited the eyes in this photograph to represent the line A
falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes The
photograph matches the narrative of our music video
Front cover idea 1
Black background contrasting with the bright colours of the
eyes.
We would add the artists name with specific signature font at the
bottom.
5. Main characters in the middle of the shot so the focus is
completely on her. She is looking away from the camera, very
similar to Florence's lungs album cover.
Front cover idea 2
We took this photograph on a projection board and used a picture of
stars so wed get the impression that the character was somewhere
magical.
6. Poll Choosing our favourite cover
To help us develop our ideas further, we embedded a poll on our
blog so that viewers could choose which would be most suitable for
the front cover and which one was better.
The poll showed that idea 2 was the better one and after agreeing
that this was our favourite we knew that we could develop this
further and add font and then gather ideas for the back cover,
inside and the side.
7. Font ideas
Heres the original font that Florence uses on her album covers on
the artist name title.
