Things to consider when creating an Album cover
We are using the format of an Album cover so our viewer is already aware that the image has something to do with music and the music industry. They have a collection of music that all has imagery attached to albums and music genres.
What we are looking at:
- Color
- Composition (placement of visual elements in 2d space...positive and negative space, rule of thirds)
- Image - subject matter
- Image - style
- Font - literal reading
- Font - style
Each of these elements becomes a "signifier" to the viewer. Which means from these visual elements we will try to make sense of the image. In this case what genre of music might this CD contain?
Project 2
- Due before class next Tuesday. Make sure you label your CD covers with your name - # and save it as a JPEG.
ex. joevonstengel-1.jpg.
Save the image as a .PSD first. Make sure to 'flatten' the image before you save as a JPEG! Upload your images into the "Art213 Album covers F23" class album that I shared with you on Google Photos.

things to consider:
First you want to figure out a genre for your movie. Is it a Romantic comedy, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy, Drama, Action, ect… Then look at and collect movie posters of that genre. Consider things like colors used, font type, text placement, use of actors/actresses images, are they full body or close up, what is their gesture.
