This is the front cover design for the album which features the song in the background track of my music video that I created using Adobe Photoshop

This is the title of the Album named after the track we initially used in the music video. Here I have used a large bold font so that it stands out to the public eye and captures their attention as it’s the first thing that they will look at which would be a factor that triggers their interest and therefore I had to make sure that its very visible to the eye. I used a website called 1001fonts to select the font style most appropriate and then I went onto Photoshop to make changes to the font and make it my own , suitable for the music video and so for this I have changed the colour, size and I have used the rubber tool on the software to create uneven lines in the outlines of each character for a better visual effect. I used a very light grey colour as it suited the grey colour present in the image below and also so that it doesn’t clash with the dark background but instead stands out.

I have added a Parental Advisory label and placed it in the bottom corner of the front cover as seen on existing albums . I saw that many albums by the artist ‘Drake’ who’s album the song ‘Take Care’ belongs to , contains this label. It warns parents about potentially unsuitable material for younger children found in the lyrics of the music.

I have also added an image which came from a shot in the music video onto the front cover, I blended it with the black background for effect purposes and used a filter to alter the quality of the picture and make it more smudged

This is the back cover for the album.

I have featured a track list on the back as an essential for an album cover to introduce the audience with the name of the song that they are listening to . I have used light coloured text to prevent the font from clashing with the background and making it hard to read. I used a different coloured font for the features and the interlude to make it start out from the track names and divide the two .

I heave added the same typeface, size and only changed the colour of It to an orange one that suits the colours of the image and the font for professional purposes.

I thought that the back cover looked very plain and after looking at existing back covers I saw that some feature images and so I added one of the female character from the music video and added a filter to create a gritty effect.

I added a barcode so that the stores in which the album will be sold in can scan it and get the price of it .
