For our CD pack we had a few ideas that we tried out using photoshop.
The first idea was of using a different image for the front and back covers. The first would be of the main singer only, we wanted this picture to be a close up with her in her 1920's costume and hair and make up. It would be edited using photoshop to manipulate the colour and make it look more like an old photograph rather than a CD cover. The name of our artist would appear vertically down the side of the front cover in a fancy red font.
The back cover would be a photo of the main singer and the 4 dancers, this would be on the set of the video with the pillars in the background to add sophistication to the image. We would write the track names vertically down one of the pillars in a red or black font, this would contrast with the older style and colours of the image.
The middle page would show the lyrics of the song on a plain black background, the text would be in red font.
IDEA 2
Our second idea would use the image of the front cover from the previous treatment, except the colouring would be different, we would make the image more like Andy Warholes pop art of Marilyn Monroe. Then for the back cover we would use the same image but again change its colouring, this would occur through each face of the pack. This idea came from a Michael Jackson album cover that we happened to stumble across whilst searching for ideas.
AFTER TRYING BOTH, WE DECIDED THAT WE LIKED THE POP ART VERSION BETTER, AS IT WAS MORE APPEALING TO THE EYE AND WOULD ATTRACT MORE PEOPLE TO BUY THE CD.
THEN! For our poster to promote the CD, we wanted to use an image of the main singer, slightly different to the one on the CD cover and make many different versions of this for the fans to collect.
We wanted to have a portrait image of the singer taking up the majority of the poster, and then separate sections of the poster into blocks of different colours.
We would make different versions of the colours for example, bright neon colours, black and white, greys and pastel colours. These each compliment a different element of the artists star image, a theory Dyer highlights in particular.
