In today's meeting we wanted to create a first draft album cover for Stellato so that we could begin to start on merchandise and the rest of the digipak.
Font:
We used many different fonts which are shown below. We decided that we liked the top font the best (Alpaca Solidify) therefore used this to work upon to create an album cover that would stand out.
Fonts (in order):
Alpaca Solidify
Baron Neue
basic title font
Broken Glass
HACKED
Kozuka Mincho Pr6N H
Urban Jungle
Album Cover:
We created this album cover by editing the background image that we took in Ripley's Believe it or not museum on Photoshop so that the colours were more vibrant and the photo as a whole looked more textured. We wanted to layer the titles as we thought it gave a cooler vibe to the album and added stars as that it Stellato's logo. We layered the black, orange and white as these are the main colours that are shown in the background and wanted these to stand out. We used the font 'Alpaca Solidify'
Reflection
By doing this it allowed us to create a brand image for ourselves and we realised very quickly that this album gave the effect of an urban or street vibe as opposed to our club/pop image that we aim to create. When we began editing our music video we all decided that our favourite shots were the Ripley's mirror maze ones and we wanted the theme of red to be continued throughout. If we were to continue along with the red theme in our music video and stayed with the original album colour we wouldn't create successful synergy with our media products. We decided instead that we would redo our album cover using a mirror maze image. We also thought that the font added to the urban style therefore we wanted a font that was more relaxed rather than graffiti style. Creating this album image was important for us as it made us realise our genre and style of music that we were creating and the brand image that we wanted to create.
