My CD cover was for the Band Electric Toaster. The album was entitled Definig Electric and was in the electric/rap style genre. The Album featured 10 songs.
I think that the overall finnish on the CD was very good, although maybe some things could of been improved. The genre of the music was electric/rap and so the target audience was teenagers and young adulds. I wanted my CD cover design to cover common interests of young people, so the main focus of the cover was the graffitti. To illustrate the colour and tone of the music (which is fun and bright) I altered the grade of the image to look more colourful and eye-catching.I also added a foreground image of a danger sign which ties in with the electric being dangerous and wild.
I think my CD could be improved by changing the font of the text. The text does not fit in with the general theme of the rest of the CD cover and could be improved. I think a bolder, more striking text would fit better and would make the CD appeal more to Teenagers.
If I had a bigger budget and more time I would consider changing the graffitti used on the CD cover. I would make the subject of the graffitti more to do with music and Electricity, rather than generic old-school graffitti.I might also change the colouring of it to give a bigger impact upon viewing, to grab the attention of the reader more.
