This is our front and back cover to our album. We were given the genre "R&B" to look at. After doing some research into other album covers in our genre, we noticed that they did seem to have close ups of the artist, and not a lot of detail. They just had the album name and the artist. For the back cover, which you can see at the top, we decided to take a close up photo of our artist, who we named Ronnie G. We then edited the photo on photoshop. We chose an effect called "Watercolour". We then changed the lighting on the photo to make it darker. After we had done that, we decided to go onto google and get the barcode. We then placed this on the bottom left hand corner. We had already found the font on a website www.dafont.com. We put the artists name at the top and then wrote out all of our song titles. Instead of putting the numbers of the song titles as "1. 2. 3. 4" we decided to actually write them out as "one. two. three. four." We thought that this would be unique and different as not many other albums have it. We thought that the font looked very casual. The font reminds us of jeans, which are casual and was the look that we wanted to have. The album name and the artists name are larger then the song titles as we wanted it to stand out and for people to know what album they were looking at.
For the front of the album cover we decided that we wanted a whole body shot. We also wanted our artist to look very casual. The story behind the album is that he is going "back to his roots". His name is at the top which links in to the album name that is going down the cover. We had to put the explicate content on the album as to warn parents that their children, or they, might be listening to material that contains strong language use. We also noticed that it was on the front covers of a lot of other R&B covers, such as 50cent and Usher.
