Final Album Cover

This is our final version of our album cover...
Photobucket
Me and my partner have designed this album cover as part of our digi-pack. A digi-pack contains an CD/DVD cover as well as a magazine advert promoting the new album. We have also made the whole cover, including the front, insert and back content. We did this as we thought it would look more professional rather than just a front cover. When analysing other CD covers, especially Lady GaGa's we found that they were very simple. We decided to use this idea for our own front over.

Here is the very front cover. We have used a close up of the main artist and written the name in a sexy yet simple font at the bottom of the album just as Lady GaGa has done. The simplicity of this album cover is going to really attract the target audience. Furthermore, with the title of the album we have used a simple title but also unique enough to attract our audience. 'Her Majesty' represents royalty and power and we have also changed the dot on the 'i' to a crown to emphasise the meaning of royalty. We have only used a plain background and a close up of the artist because we wanted to just sell the artist, not the song.

Here is the insert of the cover. We decided to use a different style of picture to make variation. Here the artist is more reflective as she is in the video, for example, biting pearls. It is also more colourful compared to the front and back cover. To also make it look more realistic and professional we have made up some quotes by people and music TV channel's that our target audience could relate to. We have also exchanged stars to crowns to keep the royal theme running throughout. We have also kept the font the same to keep within the sexy theme.

This is the back of the CD cover. We have decided to keep the background plain to keep with the simplistic tone. We have also used to same font, again to keep it minimal with no fuss. The plain black and white background makes the front cover stand out even more. Again we have changed the dot on the 'i' to a crown to keep the continuity of the regal theme. At the bottom of the cover we have used a barcode as well as a record label logo. This is to make it look more realistic which also fits in with the copyright and all rights reserved text.
