Final Product: CD Front cover

Digipak - CD Front Cover

This is an image of the front cover of the CD cover that me and my partner have produced using adobe photoshop. The image is a still taken from our music video and was then colour balanced and brightened to give it the greener glow that can be seen in the image. The main font (called Helvetica Neue Heavy Italic) we used was inspired by the font  that was used on skreams first album and has somewhat been related to him. We also applied tighter tracking to the text which is where the letter spacing is moved closer together. After some discussion we felt the it was neseccary to use this font as it is associated with Skream and would therefore appeal to are target audience although we also made changes to the way that this font was used. For example we positioned it verticaly along the right side of the cover which was an idea inspired from the two CD covers I have previously analysed which both showed all or part of their title aligned verticaly. These are shown below:

We also made all of the text slightly 'see through' by editing the opacity of the layers on photoshop. For the text that reads 'Where You Should Be ft. Sam Frank' we made the decision that we did not want to use the same large and bold font we used for the text of 'Skream!' as we felt that it would be to over the top and fill up too much space on the CD cover. Also, we wanted the text 'Skream!' to be the first thing that an onlooker saw so it was necessery for it to be larger.
Overall, I am pleased with how our CD front cover as I feel it fits with our target audience and is also aesthetically pleasing.
