Stages of making back of album cover:

In designing the back of my album cover, i have decided to show the different stages and the decisions that i have made during the process of the album leading to the final product. So far, you can see that i have made the start of doing a unique pattern with the use of hearts. I wish to make a design with the hearts such as a large flower to cover the back of the cover.

Stage 1:
I decided to chose a heart for the design as this links to the theme of love which is a typical theme found on pop albums. I felt that this would also show the creativity of the artist whilst also showing the simplicity of the design. Below, i am experimenting with the design by changing the size of the heart and the positioning of text in order to copy conventions of an album cover.

Stage 2:
In the second stage of making the back of the album, i have added more conventions and made more decisions in the design. I have decided to enlarge the hearts in order to fill the large white space and overlap the hearts over one another to make the flower effect. In this stage, i have also made an album name, "The Revolter" which links to the artist and her personality. I have started thinking of different song names for the album.


Stage 3:
This is near the final deign of the back of the album cover. i have finished making the design with the hearts into a flower, taking up most of the white space. Also, i have added colour to the font to make sure that it is colour coordinated. I have also added in a barcode and text with the music company's name to follow conventions. I am still in the process of adding a few more songs to the list. It is also evident that the font is not clear in contrast to the background, so i may have to fiddle with the effects of the text and try and make the colour darker for instance.
