Album Cover Ideas

For this album cover I chose to make the colours quite dull except the dominant colour which is red. I chose this effect as it compliments the album cover "Red". I also chose to write the artists name "Josie Jones" in contrasting colours to stand out, and to also follow the colour scheme of the rest of the image.

For my second album cover I chose to make it black and white to make it look more vintage and in keeping with jazz theme of the magazine. I used a font called "inked god" of www.dafont.com to write the artists name in. I also used a graphic of a treble clef to make the font look more unique and interesting. The name of the album is "Heart Beats", which was inspired by the image of the artist playing the drums.

My third image was edited to make the colour dull without it being completely black and white. I then used an eye catching font with a bold colour to write the artists name to draw attention to the album. To make the album cover more interesting I then used a simple font with a dull colour, made transparent, to contrast the fancy text of the artists name.

For this album cover I chose to keep it simple with just an image of a guitar and not a picture of an person. To continue the theme of simplicity I then used a white text and made the album self titled. To be sure the album cover wasn't too boring I altered the text to make it follow the lines of the image and give it some perspective.

For my last album cover I made the image airbrushed and slightly posterized. I also gave the edges of the image a black fade to make it look more professional. I made the font bold and simplistic, however eye catching as it is a large font and placed in the centre of the image. I chose to use a picture of the artist playing the piano to suggest the genre of music without having state it on the album cover.
