Flat Plan of Ancillary Task - CD Cover

Front View

Back View
 
The layout of the flat plan is quite simple featuring the artist's name at the top of the CD cover with the image in the middle and the name of the album at the bottom of the page. This will give the CD cover a clear layout, making it easy for the audience to differentiate between the name of the artist and the name of the CD.
The image below is the final choice of font i am using for my CD Cover, text is the name of the artist 'luna starrs'. I have edited the text so that it has pink and blue flecks of colour with a violet glow around it by using the software photoshop. i used different tools such as the brush tool, which i used to create the glow around the text and altered the opacity of the brush so that there wouldn't be a harsh line around the text. ni will be using the same font throughout the CD cover to create a house style for the cover, furthermore sticking to the same colour scheme.

The text on the back of the CD cover we be situated on the left side of the page as this is the way in which we read (from left to right), with the song titles written in different sized fonts fitting around the shape of the sub image.
The main image will be of the lead singer, who is the main artist of the band. The image will be situated within the middle of the page as a medium shot showing the subject from the waist upwards. the pose that she will pull will be serious, looking directrly at the camera in order to make a connection with the audience. i will edit the image using photoshop using various tools in order to create an effect that looks almost cartoon. The subject of the image will wear hair down, swept to the side wearing dark clothing which conforms to the stereotype of rock music, allowing the audience to make their own assumptions about the type of music she may produce.
On the back of the CD cover will be a sub image of the side profile of the artist, using the same edition on photoshop to creat the same effect on the image as that on the front of the CD cover. this creates a link between the front and the back of the CD cover and sticks to to a particular theme.
