Draft CD Covers


Firstly I chose this image as I feel it would make a CD cover slightly more successful and effective as it is almost typical of the Indie Pop look. The facial expression and make up is quite natural which connotes the artist is happy and confident with the way they look. However due to the fact that the head is turned away shows that they may be hiding something or possibly doesn't want to face the viewers as this is the best side to the face. I edited this image on Photoshop by using the magic wand tool to select the face and neck, I then copied and pasted it onto a blank background and used the smudge tool to smooth the edges. I downloaded the font from 'Da Font' and chose a simple but quirky font that I believe ties in well with the Indie Pop genre. I decided to have a white font as it portrays innocence and purity which relates to the light hearted  genre. The pink flowery background was chosen to portray femininity and elegance, it relates to the Indie Pop genre and those that we have analysed are all female. By layering the background pattern over the face and lowering the opacity it has given a quirky, almost vintage effect I think this is effective as the audience would be attracted to this.
