Final Advert Album Design


This is our final album advert cover which we had picked as we thought as a group this was the most efficient. We are happy with our final outcome as before the typography didn't go with our theme which was quite fun and quirky. We decided to use a close up of the lips for the main background image as it links with both the music video and the digipak and thought it would be the best idea to make everything link together which we found out in the digipaks and their album adverts that we studied from our research. We decided to distort the picture which we used for the background to give a more funky effect as we found out that from this genre most artists/ bands go on a 'trip' as if you were on drugs so we wanted to capture this in the album advert to draw people's attention to it and to sum up or artist. This reinforces the bands attitudes towards freedom and the use of free drugs.

We also decided to add some reviews to our album advert cover because we thought it would intrigue the audience to find out more about the album and persuade them to buy it. For the reviews we chose United Reggae Magazine which is a reggae magazine and Fader Magazine which is an indie music magazine, both linking to our genre that we had picked which is reggae indie rock. We gave the album a rating so it has a more realistic feel towards it and would hopefully persuade the audience more to buy it.

Our record label that we had chosen is Columbia Records as we thought this particularly linked to our genre we'd picked and we thought this made the album look more professional and realistic. We have included the release date of the album so that everybody is aware of when they get buy it and where to purchase it from such as Google Play and iTunes. This makes it easier and quicker for the customers when it comes to buying the album.
