CD cover

One of our assignments was to create a CD cover for our music single promoting it. I think the CD cover we created is interesting because, the way we made it related to the whole theme postmodernism and we wanted it and purposely did it that way. If you see the pictures in black and white mainly because we got that idea from the film scare face’s video cover and this relates to postmodernism idea because the film is old and adding old idea style like the scare face video cover into our CD cover is called patches. We used Photoshop to help create the CD cover and add in also different effects to develop the cover and make it look professional like he barcode, text and mainly the images of us. Our music video would match the proposed CD cover because on the cover there is a little black bag we purposely put there because in the music video it’s self the black bag appears in the video a lot the it also gives the viewers suspense to what is in the bag but they find out at the end for themselves.
Basically our CD cover shows that it’s Post Modern because of the way it looks, by tall the three guys in black and white. As I said that we got this style from the film cover scare face, this is an idea of the past and we have re-designed it in a newer version and because the song it new.
Also I was the only person familiar with the programme Photoshop so I had the leadership and reasonability to show the rest of my group members how to use Photoshop. Kofi did the job in uploading the pictures and making sure that the pictures were measures the same and fitted so that the CD cover case is the right size. Justice’s job was to do the text and write the title of the music video. My job was the biggest because I had to do the effects and on the pictures and texts to make sure they stand out. This was alright for me because I was used to it and already had experience in doing this, the others got the hang of it and was able to do there job very well.
