CD Cover Attempts

CD Inside Front Cover
First Attempt

Our first idea for the inside of our CD cover was to collect images of Lucas dancing, and collaborate these to look like professional photographs. As a group we thought improvements could be made, but before this, we gathered several students and asked for their feedback. Overall, the results were that the white border was too thick and therefore the white was more eye catching than the images.

As a group, we considered this feedback and also criticised our own work. We evaluated that six images in such a small space is not as effective as fewer, larger images would be. By looking closely at the first finished piece, we noticed that some of the white borders were uneven and some images were slightly larger. The reptitiveness of the carefully aligned images was repetitive and we agreed that the viewers may find this boring.


Second Attempt


After considering the criticism from ourselves and others, we decided to continue with the idea of capturing the dance images and still tried to use images which disguised Lucas as much as possible to ensure the performer remained mysterious.

We experimented with a black border on the photos but after adding this effect to all the images, we realised it made the cover look dull and boring. We wanted this inside to be just as eye-catching as the front cover and this didn't work. Also, we layered the images to remove the repetitive effect from our previous attempt, and resized some of the images so they size of each image was varied, but this meant that some of the images were overpowering others.
