Album Cover

I have used Adobe Photoshop to create my album cover, this program has allowed me to be adventurous with my editing of the photo. I feel that this has allowed me to create an album cover that I think is suitable for my album. I have used a variety of techniques to help create the best piece I can. From the number of photos I took, I chose two to use for my album.




This is what I have created, I have used Photoshop to layer the narrative over the band performance, I think that this will give it a good effect as the two will contrast well. I have used the font that Slipknot use but I have changed the colour, I think that this fits better with the album.

Album Covers

I have taken a number of photos that I may use for my album cover. These particular photos, I feel, will capture the narrative. I have taken influence from Slipknot's own album cover so that I know that mine will be appropriate.

For my album cover, I want to either have a shot of the band, or a narrative. This is because the majority of Slipknot's covers have a shot of the band. Slipknot normally show the whole band together without their instruments, I will take influence from this but I think that I will include the narrative for the cover, this is because I think that it will fit with the particular song well. 

Fonts

I have experimented with many different fonts to help find the most appropriate one for my album cover. I have used software such as Photoshop to create the most suitable font possible. Photoshop also allows me to alter the colour easily which gives me the opportunity to create synergy between all my work. I have created a 'Slideshare' to show my evidence and progress throughout the period of time it took to create the font sample. The font is important as it will be the first thing that people will see when they pick up the album so I will need to create the right vibe for it. This is why I have used dark colours predominantly for the font, I feel this will help to enforce the stereotype for the genre of heavy metal as this colours is used on a range of heavy metal album covers.
