Ideas For Cd Cover

After the completion of our music video we decided to make the most of the time we have by playing with the differents effect that we can use on Photoshop and Illustrator. First we took a picture of Syed, the artist, as a close-up with the camera at eye-level; this is the main conventional picture shot for r&b cd covers. Then we looked at different effects that seemed reasonably suitabl for the cd cover. For our cd cover we are going to take a variety of pictures of Syed in a location such as Deansgate bridge. In the majority of the cd covers we have seen, the focus is on the artists face and pose, with appearance as upmost importance. The background is mainly clear for example plain white, brick wall etc.
