Analysis Of Front Cover

This is our completed front cover. We chose this image of Syed as it portrays an image of a artist who is serious about his music and his pose appears thoughtful. We used a close to mid-shot of Syed with him looking away from the camera; this showcases the artist and shows that the artist is most important thing. Also it helps to publicise the single because the audience will recognise syed is the artist. Instead of him having eye-contact with the audience we decided to have him looking away. It implies that every person has their own problems and difficultis in relationships and keep a distance from everyone else. We used a tool on photoshop called Colour Range to alter th colour and change it to black and white. This relates back to our research on cd covers of R&B artists who use black and white images regularly. We wanted to use an italic font because it relates back to the song but it was difficult to read; finally we chose the font Apple Chaucery as this is reasonable easy to read and still looks good. As a group we decided to use the contrasting white and blue colours so that its both easy to read and stands out as the information attracts fans who don't recognise the artist.
