For this project you will use the following process to create an album cover for a fake band for the music genre of your choice.
This project is an exploration of appropriation, Ai generation, image manipulation, aesthetic research, layout and design. We will consider the meaning attached to images through context and our own expectations created through societal influence. This is the first project that utilizes the design thinking process.
Save your images using this naming convention: yourname_01.jpg, yourname_02.jpg. (ie... jvonstengel_01.jpg)
* to be successful with this project it will be important for you to do Google searches for examples of album covers for the genre you decide to base your CD cover on.
.
The Process
1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit Random... or click here . The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
.
2 - Go to "Random quotations" or click here. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
.
3 - Go to the random noun generator website here. Generate a noun or two!
.
4 - Go to ImageFx here. Use the Ai 'text to image' generator to generate an image using the following prompt framework. [a color + your generated noun + a texture + "texture"]. Download the image you like the most.
.
5 - Consider the information you have about your fake band; the album name, band name and image. Pick a music genre that you think would go well with this information.
.
6 - Research the aesthetics used in album covers for that music genre by doing a Google image search. Search for the genre and the word "album covers".
Look at the colors used, the fonts, the imagery, the subject matter and the layout. Take notes. You will want to reflect upon these visual ideas in your design.
.
7 - Create a template for a CD cover (look up the size) and save it as a PSD to your desktop
.
8 - Use Photoshop to assemble the text and imagery on the CD cover template. You can generate other images using ImageFX for this part. Download fonts at DaFont.com
.
9 - Layout the text and manipulate the images to create a CD cover design that follows the aesthetic use of visual elements for the genre of music genre you choose
.
10 - Save your CD covers with the naming convention explained above
.
Repeat the process to create a minimum of 8 different CD album covers (each can have a different music genre) the minimum gets you a "C" for the project. Doing more gets you a higher grade. Bonus points are added for proof of skill building, consideration of composition, the rules of design and most of all experimentation!
