CD Cover

First attempt. I have also uploaded this onto Facebook. I have done this to create some audience feedback (if people reply) and this will help me decide on the final product.

CD Cover - Font Experiments

Ancillary Task - CD Cover Design

Today I began to think about my CD design in detail. I looked at existing designs that are of the same/similar genre and this is what I found;

 All of these albums are of a similar genre. When looking at the text, it is clear and simple. Also ALL of these fonts look like they are handwritten, a certain style that always goes with this genre. if I want to make sure my album cover suits the style I need to find a 'handwritten' font that is readable and not to complicated.
Another prominent feature is the picture, in ALL of them the main image is of the artist whose album it is. Jason Mraz's album has a hand drawn image but it is still representing him.

Website update

Today I did research about the layout of band/artist websites of similar genre to my music video.

 The layout of this profile is very simple. With a large banner picture to attract attention straight away to the artist.

The menu is across the top and the title text/font is easy readable.

The artists name is written multiple times on one screen, this is a technique used to sink the artists name into the heads of the readers who are on the website.

An important part to the music business these days is connecting with the audience,fans and listeners via viral. It is best to have the social networking sites such as 'Twitter and Facebook' up at the top of the page so that it is easily visable to the audience.


These are both things I will consider in my website design.
