Below are images of each side of our final CD cover, the front cover, back cover, inside front and the inside back cover. For each of the covers we have used different programs to create them, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe InDesign.

FRONT COVER:

For the front cover we decided it would be best to use a screenshot from our music video so the viewer could make a comparison between the two. The screen shot we used was of Liz in the abandoned location. We used a shot of just her feet up to the bottom of her dress and grass in the background, we though this shot worked well as it had a lot of space to the left of her which was perfect to add the covers text to. We changed the image black and white to make it look more like a professional CD cover, however we left Liz’s dress red to add a bit of life to the image and make it stand out against the dull background. This was done by using Adobe Photoshop. We then used a simple white font called ‘New garden’ this font wasn’t gaudy or fancy and worked well with the image, which made it look professional.

BACK COVER:

We kept the back cover similar to the front cover but made it more simplistic. We used a image of grass on the back using the same black and white effect. We then added the track list to the back in the same white font as the front. We placed the text in a vertical list central to the cover. At the bottom we added the typical items on a professional CD such as the barcode, company logo and the copyright information. This made the back cover look very effective and real.

INSIDE FRONT COVER:

For the inside front of the CD case we decided to keep it simple so that is does not make the front cover less effective. We used a plain black background and white text on it. The text was just a repeat of the songs and the albums name; we got this idea from previous CD cover research.

INSIDE BACK COVER:

This part of the CD case is where our actual CD would go. To make this cover more inventive we used the lyrics of the song in our video “fences”, and typed them up in the shape of a CD. We did this using the programme Adobe InDesign. This is where the CD would be placed in our album. The text was once again white and in a simple font so it is easy to read.
