Album art - Cover ideas

Upon review (from other opinions), teachers have recommended a combination of these two album covers:

The first design looks somewhat too simplistic, and does not garner maximal attention.

The seon design's criticisms stem from that it looks too much as if we were two European DJs. The font gives the wrong impression, possibly implying that we do techno music.

We've decided to keep the colour scheme though. We will possibly borrow from some Apple's adverts:

So, possibly a movement that stands out (i.e. a person jumping on a guitar), with an appropriate background.

Album Art - the making of

One of the aspects we used in the making of our digipak was Dafont.com

This enabled us to download fonts to our computer. 

The font that we chose for our album cover was Badaboom BB.

Treatment

Poster draft 2

The draft was a mere sketch to draw on, here is a further draft, that's been done on Adobe Illustrator:

Poster draft

We obtained the help of someone who can draw better than us; here is a result of the rough draft of our poster for the magazine.

We will re-make this in photoshop to give it a more professional look. 

Album Art

Here is the first draft of our digipak front cover.

Inspiration was taken from Pink Floyd's album cover. It's simplicity is what adds to it's iconic image, and we opted to go for a likewise simple design which can also be memorable.


The picture of several colours is a play on how the band's name is The Colours, but at the same time it is also representative of the playful sound the band carry.

Storyboard - for the animation

We intend to have a narrative in the form of animation within the music video. This will be the outline of the story:

The protagonist will be dumped by his girlfriend and she will introduce him to her new love. Then the protagonist decided to take up the keyboard and writes her a song to try and win her back. however this doesnt work and the protagonist is at his lowest pint. He decides to fill his time with his keyboard to dull the pain of his love leaving him. After a couple of days people start to notice him and he gets offered into a band.    The band become very successful and after a while his love decides that she would be better of with a rich boyfriend and dumps her other one and tries to get back with the protagonist. However he sees right through this and decides to right a song called Tonight I Let You Go about him getting over a love that threw him away. The Band then show their name which is obviously The Colours.

Adding animation within the music video

We intend to be using a narrative with toys - perhaps done in the format of a stop frame animation. We will capture the video at 8 frames per second, in order to get the "stop frame animation"effect completely obvious.
