CD Cover design.




This is our album cover design. We made sure we interesting visual imagery on each side of it so it looks professional and interesting. The front cover is going to be a landscape photo of a beach but we are going to edit it on photo shop to make the sky dark and the sea red so it goes with the heavy metal genre of darkness and negativity. We also want to use posed photo shoots of the band to show who they are, we will edit this to look dark like the rest of the images on the album cover using the main colours of black and red.

This is an example of an album cover that I thought was really affective, we want to take the idea of having an object or something other than the band on the front of our album cover that will create a negative feeling as soon as you look at it and like above we decided to have a landscape picture of an ocean/ beach that looks dark and like a place you just wouldn't want to be. Most photos taken for heavy metal bands have quite a gritty, dark affect to them which you can see looking at the picture above, we want to apply to all of or photos in our photo shoot as we think it looks affective and will help the negativity we want to get through.
