Practice Album Cover

We were set a task to create a practice album cover by following the instructions from Pete's blog.

Pete's Task

Make your own album cover

If you are making an album cover as part of an A level task, you need some practice. One of my favourite tasks, which proves that anyone can be creative, is this one, also known as the internet CD cover meme creator, to be found in various locations on the web. Here's what you do:

1. Get a band name:

Use the title of a randomly-generated Wikipedia article. You HAVE to use the title of the page you land upon!

2. Get an album title: 

Use the last four or five words from the last quote on this page of random quotations. 

3. Get your image:

Use the random images  generator from Flickr's last seven days you HAVE to use the third image, whatever it is

4. Drop image and words into Photoshop:

Adjust your band name and album title by changing the font, colour and size and maybe putting a bit of layer effect on. Resize your image so that it is the right size for the front of an album. If you want, you can turn colour into black and white, but you can’t add anything else to the image!

5. Upload it to one of the random generated CD cover sites

1. Band Name

2. Album Title

 

3. Album Cover

4. Edit All Together

Here is my final edit of my practice album cover. I think it looks really good and I enjoyed creating it! I can't wait to start creating my own album cover for the digipack.

Updates

I am very pleased to say that we are all in the process of filming our first few shots! I am very excited to get them uploaded and to start editing them together!
