Starting our CD cover

TUESDAY 1ST DECEMBER
We thought shots from the music video we had made would be a good idea to have as a CD cover or we would take shots at the locations we had filmed for the music video to use as our CD cover. However when we looked at some CD covers some had simple backgrounds and the artist was shown in more effect therefore we had a range of interesting ideas such as have images of Syed posing looking away from the camera and have images of him posing looking straight at the camera.




This is a CD cover released for Leona Lewis, this is a perfect example of a CD cover that is simple, sharp and most importantly advertises the artist effectively as it's an extreme close-up and has a plain background.





This is a CD cover for the artist Shawn Desman. This is an example of the artist posing in a different direction with a simple background and the artist here is shown to be again the main focus and is the most outstanding.



FRIDAY 4TH DECEMBER
For our CD cover we are currently thinking to have a shot of Syed looking away from the camera and have it in black and white we have added effects to a image taken from the music video yet we have recently completed the back cover of the CD and we have added effects from Photoshop that allows the image to look like a cartoon but still a little natural this is long shot of Syed walking on the bridge and he is towards the right hand corner we thought this would be a good image as the song titles could go down the middle and have Syed on the right hand side. However we are thinking we need both the back cover and front cover to have the same effects so we might change the effects from one or the other. E.g have both back and front cover with negative effects - black and white or both front and back in a cartoon effect.

For the inside of the CD cover we have decided to have a page for the lyrics - How Do I Breathe and another page of either a collage of images taken from the music video or four images of Syed with the same effects again taken from the music video.
