Ancillary Ideas

Here are some tester album covers I have worked on just to look more into layout, colours, themes that fit in with the song and the meaning I am bringing aross to the audience. When working on them I definitly decided that i did not want to use the scientific theme that I tried in the first tester album cover I did below. The second I rather like as it's simple and I like the contrast between the black hands and the bright background with the rain drops. I used white, Tropicali Script BTN Bamboo font for 'The Scientist' and a rich dark pink, Times New Roman for 'Natasha Bedingfield'. I think these colours work quite well. I debated whether or not to use a green colour instead of pink, but chose pink as I thought it represeted the singers feminimity better and the fact that the song is about love and a relationship. The next two are very plain very simple, I prefered the 1st plain one to the second but I dislike them as they do not sell the song very well and are too plain and boring. they are not eye catching or different. The next two I also like very much expecially the last one. The angle of the girl holding the flowers works well with where I placed the text. I used the same colours as I did in the hands album cover but the 'Natasha Bedingfield' title is in Orator Std for both. I prefer this font to the Times New Roman as the letter are a little more spaced apart from one another which I rather like. I also like the idea of having a silhouetted figure walking away from the shot as it does not define a particular person and is quite mysterious and engaging.
