EVALUATING MY FINAL CD COVER DESIGN

FRONT CD COVER

The title for my Cd cover is ' Angel & Devil'. I used ' MAGNETIC' for the band name. I used the word 'magnetic' for the band name because it means a strong, attractive power or charm. For making my Cd cover, I used fireworks to design it and the concept for my cover is rock genre. On my front cover, it shows the white and black roses with a blood-red background. The white rose represents the 'Devil'. White usually signifies fairness and purity but it can also have a darker and evil side. The black rose represents an 'Angel' to show black is not always bad and lonely but can have a gentle and softer inner side. I used the blood-red in the background to make it scary and dangerous. The reason behind this picture is some people are like these roses and are not always what they are expected to be. The font I used is simple to make it ordinary and the pictures have been sketched to make it realistic.


BACK CD COVER

As for my back cover, I used the same background but different visualisations. I used the concept of a devil's tail and an angel's wing on the side of the scroll where I filled the song tracks to make it a classic and ordinary style. In one of my tracks, I used the 'orchestra version' to make it unique and like a ballad as it is changes the rock version to softer music. The fonts I used in the songs are bold and stylish to make it ordinary but attractive.

I would probably say the target audience would be teenagers and who loves rock music. 'Magnetic' could be odd for a band's name but I used it because it means the personality of charm and power to people. As for the Cd cover I drew images in 'fireworks' using tools like pencil, rubber, magic wand, font and colors to make artistic and rough. I searched and used the background image from google to make it clean as well as adding darker colour.

Before making an exact Cd cover for the blog, I drew the pictures and background on a A3 paper roughly to see whether there could be more ideas and designs for my final Cd cover. I used the simple concept of white and black roses to make it like one is evil and other good. Later, I thought it could be better if I changed the concept of roses into opposites meaning the white rose to be devil and black rose to be angel. I used these methods to make my target audience notice that some people have the personalities like these roses.
