CD Cover Assignment
Instructions
Outline
• To try to put some of the things we have learned into practice, you will be asked to design an album cover for a fictional artist.
Album Covers
Band name
Album title
Band Image
Consider
• Music Genre
• Title Font
• Target Audience
• Artist Connotations (through props, locations, costume)
But Mostly Consider...
• This assignment is not about becoming experts of album covers but of challenging and testing yourself in terms of what you are able to do.
A Few Inspirations?
And Ones To Avoid
A Few Rules
• Your album cover must include at least one original photo/scanned image (you may combine this with found images, but better if you do not)
• You must draw out a design of the album that you try to stick to- this will force you to try to challenge yourself on Photoshop
Finally...
• Keep Things Practical: if you can’t get images for Monday then take a picture of yourself and test out what you want to do.
• This is about practice (this entails some experimenting and things going wrong)
Photographs
• Take multiple shots from different angles (always do one close-up)
• Think about framing & lighting- don’t overly rely on Photoshop
• If you are going to select the ‘artist’ then consider the background and things like hair
