Album cover designs

This is just a video that we have made showing us working on the digi packs that we have to create for our work. In this video it shows us making some of the planning ideas for album covers,and the magazine advert.

This is one of the ideas that we had for our magazine advert, this going to be the general layout of the actual advert.
as you can see there is one person sitting down, I done this in order for him to stand out and so people would know that he is the main attraction of the band, the main singer. I have also included general information about the album like the bands name (Aftermath of ignorance), and also The album name (Bonded By Blood) and have included other information like price of album ECT.

The last part is the album covers themselves , we have had various ideas and the album covers reflect the names of album name 'Bonded By Blood'. For the one at the top it is mainly based around a women and she is covered by blood in the whole cover. We have chosen to show blood because it is a convention of the rock genre and the colour red represents love and pain also which is what the albums contents possess as well.

The second one along is one which includes the band so people know who's album it is. As you can see it has the name of the band on there and also interesting imagery. This cover also has dark imagery as darkness is also a convention of rock therefore it fits and appeals to the people hat listen to this genre of music.

The last one is just one panel of the album cover but as you can see the imagery of the panel is again exceptional. In this one we have chosen not to include the man whole face as we thought it adds more of a mysterious, demonic looks because the main focus is on his jagged teeth and the blood dripping out of his mouth. Again we chosen to use blood in this one because it connotates with the name of the album cover.
