Mock Ups

The first initial idea was to make an album cover with a cartoon effect, that looked like Joss Stones "Mind body & soul" album cover. The paisley background is iconic of the 1960s when soul was most popular, we wanted this to come across to the audience in ours.


-This is our result -
However, we decided that we wanted something that was completly different and not imitate any other artists CD covers. We then came up with an idea and we drafted it out. We then changed that CD Cover that is now our final.
For our poster, we intended to use this image alone:
We chose to use this image because we felt that it fitted it perfectly with the song title 'Don't Know, Don't Care' as our artist is looking angry and almost breaking the Rose in two. However, with the CD cover we felt that it didn't really link together. So again, like our CD cover we did a mock up and that turned out to be our final. Here was our original Poster:

Images for the final product

We have taken photographs of Jenny the artist, which will be used for the CD and poster. We have edited them using photoshop, these are not finished but is roughly an idea of the sort of images we are using. We asked her to dress in casual clothing with her hair down and minimal make-up, conforming to the effortlessly pretty look that female soul singers are known for.
