Ideas/try out of CD covers

HERE'S FOUR ROUGH SKETCHES IF IDEAS FOR MY FINAL CD COVER

1) The first idea was having our artist in the middle of the cover and it would be taken from a mid-long shot revealing her figure and clothing. The idea was to show that she is a popular artist hence the flashing cameras and the red carpet look/effect. I wanted to almost juxtapose Hollywood's idea of glamour and fame (expensive clothes, makeup, cleavage etc) as appose to dancehall's look which is mainly tight fitted revealing clothes and exaggerated jewelry.

2) The second idea I had was to have our artist taken from a mid-close shot. This is because in the video she's mainly shot from a mid close shot with would then correlate well with the CD cover. The idea of her lifting a hat of her head was that the hat would represent a male of which she's taking off as she doesn't need a man to be successful or to pull her back. She would wear similar clothes to what she wore in the video so that she can then have a fashion mark which initially lead to bigger profits as she could go into promoting these objects/props which would lead to bigger profits and more awareness of her as an artist.

3) My third idea was that the artist's picture was a close shot only revealing half of her face. This is because she's upcoming and new - not a lot of people would know her. I believe it also adds mystery to her as a person as she is an underground/unsigned artist. She would wear a tiara simply to represent her name 'Princess Landa'.

4)My forth idea was that I'd edit my artist laying down on her name - to show her confidence and so that the audience could easily recognise the artist.




This is my first attempt in making my CD cover.

As part of the marketing aims, I've asked for our audiences' opinion on which of these three of my attempts should be the final CD front cover for our artist's album.
