Album cover design

This is a mock up of how I would like my album cover to look. these are not my images. i did the design and layout in illustrator but had to convert to photoshop to upload onto blogger hence the clear outlines of the pictures and the layering.

I like how how the reflected moon is orange and slightly blurred out. The orange colour of the moon and the tree outline also give a sense of perspective, this is not two moons there is another side to the moon. i was going to have the triangle and he colour incorporated over he moons but i think that it works better when placed at the bottom with the title in between.

the text used in the title works really well and shows clearly against the black background, the text is a clearly legible copperplate font. overall when the whole thing is blended together and the outlines are removed I think it will be quite effective.

CD Design box

i would like the CD design to be a mixture of photographic elements and the graphic design ones. i think that i should keep the background black as per the original design. this also ties in with the original cover of the album. i think that by using two images of the moon and blurring and changing the colour balance of the second it will create almost a kind of mirror effect. the change in colour can also be implemented to the albums title. incorporating some of the famous designs original features i intend to use the prism and the light spectrum but maybe use the moon itself for the design. i think that in having a box with a pul out cd tray as opposed to a fixed one will be an advantage. the accompanying booklet can be put on the inside of the lid.
