ancillary task- Designing and developing ideas 2-Yharnna Dior Joseph

For our first pannel of our CD cover , which would be our front cover we had decided to go with a black background , which would be contrasted with bright imagery and light typography .
After close analysis and evaluating the photography taken for Cd cover , we selected the image that we felt would best suit our CD Cover .

We chose this image mainly because we felt it worked extremely well with the mood and feelings that we were trying to express to the audience. I'm appreciative of the way of which the model appears to be focused in deep thought. Which creates the idea that he's reflecting or reminiscing on a memory of the past. we believe his facial structure here is bold and sharp demonstrating the 'brave act'
that our artist is supposed to put on.

Another element which is extremely essential to the front cover of our Digipak is the typography
which is used . To create an effective Front cover , we need a font which is going to stand up
from the page , and allur the eyes of the audience.

In order to ensure we had the best possible
design for CD front cover , we experimented
with a number of effective fonts , saved to
my fontbook on my imac. The words that
would feature on our CD front cover were
simply "DRAKE" "MARVINS ROOM"
we felt that minimal font would help the
front cover remain simple , as we had already
specified. We also felt that all capitals was
more effective. So therefore I Opened up a
black canvas on photoshop and Typed
"Drake in all four fonts" to see which font worked best. Originally I loved every font which had been used , but i had to make a tough decision to what font worked best. After careful thought and consideration , I decided to use the first font , As i felt that the eroded look , reflected the conext of the
album songs and album.
