PLANNING Album Cover

Few Ideas of pictures for cover.

The main idea is still the same as the previous blog made about the layout and composition but these are experimental layouts that still look appealing. By improving my layout maybe it will make the album cover look better than what I initially think it should look like.

Here are some of the album cover pictures I have thought to maybe use as the final outcome of the ancillary work:

This is one idea I have had. The front cover (right) is probably what I definitely want to keep its just the back part of the album that I cant seem to get right due to the fact I have to consider that the bar code and other information is needed to be put on the back and may overlap the picture. The only problem to this picture is that the color and lighting is very different and even if I tried to edit it. the difference in color would dominate and make it look weird, it would look like two different pictures that don't go together.

In this back cover I have the right lighting for it all yet the eye contact in this doesn't look really good and the positioning of the shot is not really good in my own opinion. However I liked the setting and the way the artist is stood in this way, holding on to a part of the tree just makes her look confident and comfortable. Still no space for all the rest of the things that have to be put on the back of a album because it will end up covering up some parts of the picture that I want the audience to see.

In conclusion the final picture could be the second option yet I am still experimenting with other pictures we did take quite a few.
