Band Posters and Flyers-different layouts

I really like this Michael Jackson poster because i think it works effectively with just the 3 images of him.   The way the first and third image are quite similar works like a pattern and the second image splits this up creating a difference in the photographs as he is looking a different way. This makes the second image really stand out from the rest.  

This poster of Florence and the Machine is quite simple and the colours are all very similar but i think this creates a good effect. I like the way the yellow,white and pink flowers stand out against the rest of the poster as they are the only vibrant colours. I also like the simplicity of Florence stood against the wall and by her holding a rabbit as it adds an unusual and unique style to the image.

This Oasis poster is quite dull as it's just black and doesn't have any colour but this works effectively against the reflective shaped photograph in the middle. I also like the small amount of writing on the cover which makes the image stand out more.

This is a Beatles album cover and i really like the way the simple colours that have been used, black and white, this works well against the interesting photograph on the cover. It's quite a simple cover but it's eye catching how the men look really big against the small background.

This is my favourite album cover out of the ones i have researched as i love the colours and the lighting. This image also makes Florence stand out as the lighting emphasizes her in the centre of the album cover.

CD cover design task

First CD cover 

This was a practice CD cover just to test making one. We chose any picture off a website and a random quote and name off wikipedia, this was to have an image and create the name of the CD cover and the band.

Introduction to CD cover photography 

We have been asked to design and create a CD cover or poster for a band. We should show our developing ideas, photo shoots that we do and all design work. We need to think of what band were going to create the CD cover or poster for or weather it's going to be a solo artist. We need to research CD covers and posters/flyers to give us an idea of where to begin.
