poster...

... this is my poster which i created for my chosen band name. which was inspired to me by the work of ellie goulding. i really like the way it is very cartoonie with no actual real imaging. the reason on why i chose to do a poster with the lights tonal colors is because they look so vintage and old fashioned which is the type of imagery that i adore and love. i also love the style of the writing because it really fits into the whole poster and fits into the colors really well and this is my final piece. 

CD templates ...

... to help me with the layout of the CD cover i have got to research into different CD sleeves and covers so when it comes to designing my cover i have the base already for it and know how much space i have got. what i was thinking of doing is a CD card sleeve, with is very simple and very effective and also eco - friendly because it was made from card which is easily recycle-able. here are a few templates that i like... here is a website link that i found with different types of CD cover styles... http://www.discworks.biz/templates.html.

here are two templates which i am going to download to use...i don't know on whether i am going to use the single sleeve or a double sleeve. 

introduction to task...

... for this assignment we have been asked to design our own CD cover, to do this i have researched different types of CD covers and also different types of posters that relate into the type of music that i like. 

CD cover research...

... here are some CD covers that i researched into that i love so when coming up to making my own one i will have plenty of ideas... and here they are... the reasons on why i have chosen these specific CD covers is because i love how there all there own and they are all different which gives me plenty of ideas. the reason on why there are so many albums made by Ellie Goulding is because i love the way there are light speckles which have been edited in which make the image look very vintage and something which she can claim as her own. with the Rihanna - what's my name album i love the colors which have been used because there is a bright wash of deep pink which really goes well with the hair and the image is very retro at the same time with i love. 

posters research...

... here are a few posters that i researched to help me try and make my own poster  for my very own band and make it stand out. here are the images that i found...

... the reason on why i have chosen these images to look at for ideas because i really like the way they have been composed and the colors that have been used in them which are quite natural and also very pasterly. even though the one with the light bulb isn't an actual photograph i love the way it has been edited to make it more posterized which gives it a great inviting feeling to make you read on or look into the artist a little bit more. for my poster/flyer i am going to try and make it look very retro and vintage because that's what reflects me the best.
