Spine of the cd development- Task 9

Today I placed the right measurements into photoshop so that I could create the spine for my CD. I have followed my house still through the process of making my CD by using the colour purple in the same letters that were used on the front cover. I also used the same font to carry on with the house style theme.

Front cover final product- Task 9 (unexported version)

Today, I decided to change the placement of the text "Tori Kelly". I moved them closer together because I felt as if the gap between the two words was way too far and it didn't look very professional. I knew that I could do a better job of this, therefore I aligned the text and made it closer together. Furthermore, I decided to use my own idea of adding the colour purple to the letter I and Y because I felt like once I experimented with it, it looked like it worked and I felt like it was extremely effective. Therefore I am going to use this theme throughout the whole CD cover, so it'll be used on the spine, the CD itself and the back cover of the XD.

Front cover development

When I carried on editing my front cover, I decided to add the text. I went for a simplistic yet effective font. I chose this font because it was mature and not to cheesy or girly, therefore this font suited all audiences as I want this album to relate to both guys and girls. 

Furthermore, I decided to include a colour within the text of the album name. I took this idea from Adele's 21 album as I felt like it created an effect that connotes  a sympathetic yet sign of independence. I decided to place the title of the albumat the bottom of the CD cover and the Artist's name at the top right hand corner of the cover because the album name is the most important, hence why it goes across the bottom. Then the words "Tori Kelly" needs to be appealing and in the right placement on then CD cover to promote the artist herself and to attract the audience to this album.

Front cover development

Today I started creating the front cover for my cd. I added my rulers in so that I have guidance to where the text cannot go over. I also changed the contrast and brightness levels of this photo to make it appear more balanced and it also made Ashaaana's skin more even looking.

Photoshoot

Today, me and Courtney went to the photography studio to shoot the shots for the CD digipack and the magazine advert. Courtney and I took it in turns to shoot our individual shots as we are creating individual CD digipacks and magazine adverts. I shot the majority of my shots in black and white as I felt like this fit the theme of the track more than coloured shots as it doesn't create the same feeling. Here are some of the shots, and this photoshoot went extremely well for the both of us.

Task 8- Possible font ideas

Below is a picture of some of the fonts that I have looked at. I decided to look at the more uncomplicated texts as I believe this fits our theme for the music video and personally, I feel like it's more effective. Here are three fonts that I have looked at and the third one is the one that I feel works the best so far, however I am still going to be looking at plenty more fonts to give me many more ideas.
