1. We both agreed that the peace
sign used to represent the album
would be a good symbol. This is
because want our album to be
focused mainly on the idea of
troubles people face within
society nowadays. The actual
song we decided to use is based
on the theme of isolation and
running away from the problems
the artist faces. At first we though
it would be a good idea to use it
as part of the cd front cover, then
through development and
drafting ideas, we thought it
would be a better idea to make it
the record label logo as it is iconic
and easily recognisable.
This idea for the back cover of
the album didn’t seem creative
enough therefore we both
decided not to take any ideas
from it.

2. We found that the font on the
title of this album was too
feminine therefore didn’t
represent or focus much on our
target audience therefore we
decided no to use this type of
font on the final piece
We liked the idea of having a long shot of the
artist walking on the road into the distance, this
links in with the ideas for the music video we have
planned to create as it adheres to the theme of
walking away into darkness whilst trying to run
away from the problems of reality. The fact that
the artists back is towards the camera, it doesn’t
sell our artist enough therefore we thought that
this would be a better idea as part of the inlay
sleeve or advert where it doesn’t have to directly
represent the artist, but promote the album and
its contents.
Although this was a design for the back
of the cd album, we liked the idea of
having the main image of the artist on
the front cover fading just as in this
picture. This would link to the theme
of the album as well as the album
name ‘gone’. This allows us to use a
medium close up shot of the artist
therefore he is promoting his own
music and will be able to gain
recognition for his work as well. We
therefore decided that this would be
the main image for our front cover
rather than a feature on the back of
the album.

3. In this album cover design, we
mainly focused on getting medium
close up shot of the artist in order
for him to gain recognition for his
music. We thought by having a
close up shot it allows the
audience to feel more closer to
the artist in order to relate to his
music. By having a side profile shot
it makes the album seem more
mysterious therefore we thought it
would be an interesting feature as
a part of the main image. the font
here is more masculine so we
thought it was a better idea to use
for our cd cover. It is bold so will
easily attract the audiences
attention. The name is also short
so therefore more effective and
more iconic.
This idea consists of a long shot
of the artist leaning against a
wall. Although this was
originally for the back cover, we
thought it would look better as
part of the advert as it allows us
to show our ability to take a
variety of different shots. This
also represents the theme of
isolation and being lost in
thought and away from reality
which successfully adheres to
the theme of the album.

4. Neither of us liked the
designs on both front and
back of these designs
therefore we chose not to
use anything from these
designs.

5. We found this was too colourful
which didn’t link with the
theme of both the album and
our music video therefore this
was unsuccessful. The colours
used aren't very masculine
therefore it doesn’t match our
target audience which is
towards the male audience. The
font here is also really plain and
doesn’t stand our enough
against the colourful
background.
Neither of these designs consisted of an
image of the main artist which
therefore doesn’t promote the artist
enough as a result. Both front and back
covers drawn here are too boring and
don’t give an insight to the albums
contents or the genre of music of the
artist within this album.
