This was the first draft of our album cover for our Alex Echo record. I came up with the idea of the picture which was edited on photoshop. The reason I used the bright colours on a black background was to make the album stand out. This makes the album stand out when someone is looking through a large amount of CDs. The album and artist name is clearly stated at the top this means the audience can clearly see who the artist is even at a quick glance.
The rest of my group liked the cover put wasn't sure if it was appropriate for the actual album cover. They thought it would be more appropriate to have an image of Alex Echo on the front of the cover. This way the album is more linked to the artist and easier for a fan to find in a shop.
We could still use the cover above for something related to the artist. The back of the album case could be an idea or perhaps even the disc. We would have to consider this at a later date. If we used it as the actual cd picture then it would not have to be adapted. If we instead used it as the back of the cd case then we would have to change it to have the song names on the album. This could be as well or instead of the current text.
