CD Cover Designs

As a part of my A2 Media Course, I've been working on a cover design that would help me when I come to create the poster for my Short Film "First Meal Of The Day".

In the end I did two covers, both of which were rather unique in design, but in all honesty I much prefer the first one I did, which was named after the Greek University of Ioaninna, and used the last part of the quote "Keep Your Friends Close, But Keep Your Enemies Closer...".


As I thought about what would look and sound good, I edited the picture chosen for me: a black and white photograph of a lighthouse with fields of grass in the front part of the photo. With the album name I only took the last part of it for the final piece, simply calling "Ioaninna: Keep Your Enemies Closer...", which featured my own touch: 'Orchestrated By Quincy Jones', which I used as  a technique of improvisation and creativity to give off the impression that this WAS a real album.


As I haven't been able to upload this piece, I will say that as the designer, it is  QUITE impressive.



















As I was unable to upload the finished cover onto my blog, I've instead put up the original picture that I eventually edited into the cover for my 'album', as it was described, this is the picture just above the text.
