From our very original mock up, we changed the exclamation mark we used in the name 'SYD MARIE' it's too big a trademark of PINK and we wanted something more individual. The copy also does not stand out enough, we must ensure that we change this. We shall move the artist up on the cover and perhaps enlarge the image and also edit the heart clipart as this doesn't fit appropriately. We have tried too hard to stick to the colour scheme of red and black and this hasn't worked as well as we hoped that it would. We had tried to follow the codes and conventions of previously analysed CD covers, we wanted to conform to the codes and conventions and therefore need to edit our CD covers with this in mind. The urban background was successful as it engages the audience and is a suitable setting for our target audience.
We also highly considered a direct mode of address, to conform to conventions we knew that we must use this, which we did originally on one of the mock ups, we spoke to various people about this and whether to use it. Finally we decided it was also appropriate to stay with not using the direct mode of address as we had done to fit in with the theme of 'PRETENCE',our song name.
I like this much much more than your original idea. I much prefer the blue colour as well. I think you have chosen a good font and the image looks makes sydmarie look 'edgy',
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the selfridges in the background as it gives identity to your artist. I also think the colours work well with the background.
