First Draft CD Cover-Pre Production

The CD cover draft I created was an album cover for the band The Stone Roses. I created the background by using the paintbrush tool on photoshop. I chose the colours red, blue, black and yellow as these are the colours that are used in the writing on the cover. For the band name on the cover I got a picture of it and cropped the background of the picture with the quick selection tool so I just had the writing. I made the name quite big because as its big and bold it will stand out on the stand in the music shop so it will catch the eyes of the customers. For the album name I carried on with the colour scheme of red, blue, black, yellow and white. I spaced the writing so it matched the band name so it looks better. I used a big bold font as this will also catch the eye of the customer when its on the stand. For the image on the cover i chose a picture of the four band members and cropped the background out so its just them on the background I created. I did this by using the quick selection tool on photoshop. The image is high key lighting which is positive and they all look happy and as the album is called 'The Resurrection' it makes them look happy to be back. I cropped another image using the quick selection tool on photoshop as i cropped the pictures of the lemons. I chose the lemons as they are an iconic image of the stone roses so this is another thing that will stand out to the customers.
