Album Cover Mrs Fisher



Above is the second album cover design which was done by Christina Petrou who is a member in my group. As a group we were set a task to create an album cover each and then choose the best idea out of the three, as a group we decided to make this our final album cover design.
As a group we decided to use the two above images above as our album cover as we felt it represents the artist the best due to the images portraying the type of artist she is and the use of colour that will allow consumers of any age and gender to be attracted to buy this good.Moreover this album cover portrays how the artist should be seen, the front cover artwork piece is displaying an image on the right hand side which portrays innocence, a sweet young fresh artist and a happy idol for all age groups. From keeping in with the generic conventions of an album cover the right hand side picture shows a bit of skin however not too much so that it looks distasteful. Having said that this needed to be done in order to attract a male market, young girls as well as teenagers and adults will be able to relate to the artist due to the clothes she is wearing and her whole image which is an aspect most girls/women pick up on when presented with a new artist.

The image on the left hand side which is faded out shows the artists face so that consumers are able to have a clear indication of what the artist looks like from her neck up and thighs up. As a result of this taking into consideration all aspects of what consumers may think when looking at this album cover for the first time has made decisions and editing styles easier when you know what market you are trying to target.




Above is the second album cover design which was done by Katie Woodland who is a member in my group. As a group we were set a task to create an album cover each and then choose the best idea out of the three.

Above was my design idea for an album cover for our artist. I thought that it helped represent the artist the best due to the images portraying the type of artist she is and the use of colour that will allow consumers of any age and gender to be attracted to buy this good. Also this album cover portrays how the artist should be seen, the front cover artwork piece is displaying an image on the left hand side which portrays innocence, a sweet young fresh artist and a happy idol for all age groups. From keeping in with the generic conventions of an album cover at the top right hand side i placed the artists name and the title of the song, with a plain and simple font , with a baby pink colour outline, helped make the front of the cover more eye catching and attractive to our target audience.
This is the album cover by Gyptian which we researched into and gathered our own ideas from, as you can see this album cover is similar to our final chosen album cover so therefore this album cover successfully helped me and my group members with our final decission. Overall myself and my group members decided to choose Christina Petrou's album cover as our final cover because we thought that the album cover went well with the genre of our song, as we compared it to other reggae artists album covers eg Gyptian. We noticed that these album covers had a close up of the artists face on the cover and then the text was large and plain on the left hand side of the covers which is the same as our final design.
