Short list of fonts, colours, layout and design

Colours

For colour I will exploring the darker saturations, like grey and black as our genre is based on songs and lyrics that have deep meanings therefore a darker colour will be suited best.

 However I might be using real images so in order to maintain the following of our Indie conventions I will make the image in either black and white or just saturate the colour in order for the album to have a dark gloomy look to it.

LAYOUT AND DESIGN IDEAS

As you can see I produced a rough layout and design idea for which I will use to help guide me produce my actual album cover. This is just my Front panel, as you can see I've made it clear on where I want my image, title, name, lyrics etc.

Front panel

Inside Cover layout Idea

This is my layout idea for my inside cover, I am planning on placing 2 images: one on the left hand side of the panel and one on the cd. Both images will be the same, however the images will be looking at each other as I want the Ancillary Work to be all about my artist.

Advertisement Idea

For my advertisement, this is the best layout idea that I could possibly follow. the use of the black and white gives the advertisement an Indie effect as it is not too mainstream and flashy. The layout in this advertisement is very simplistic yet very elegant and is presented well. The use of fonts are very well suited together and allow the advertisement as a whole to stand out.
