Here you can see that I have progressed more with the spine and the back cover this week. I have used the same picture twice as the gap I created within the translucent New York pictures is used for the Album and Band name but also on the back cover it's perfect for the track list. This design was actually on purpose so it's great that it worked out this way. I have also included a copyright symbol, and band member list and links to the bands page on myspace (Fictional) and the YouTube page where all of the songs and videos are (Which is real). For the spine I simply used the same fonts as it is a logo I was trying to be consistent. I also just re-sized the 'Layers' logo so it fitted in. For the Picture in the spine I took a small part of the background picture (Namely the New York skyline where the sun bursts out) and stretched it which I think enhances the busting effect in this situation. For my other two inside over designs, I was going to have more of a focus on the artist and either have a picture of me and the other member one on the left side one covering the disc. Or, I am going to have the same to pictures but I am going to make it the size of a passport picture and make around 40 or 50 copies and 'Layer' them over each other either with both of them the right way up at the correct angle or a could change it so it creates a more wild and messy look, this is representative of how the main character in the video feels. I have been trying to subliminally show through simply the ideas of layers in the world around us, first with the layering of the two artists over each other but also through the use of the skyscrapers and how tall they are, and their floors, e.g. their layers...
This is the first draft of my magazine advert. The first thing is that these are the pictures I will be using for the final advert. I have tried to keep the concept of the two font colours used in the logo going throughout the poster, for example when it comes to the reviews and the release dates.
