The Verve Pipe - Freshman

Ancillaries and pictures

Front CoverAs a front Cover I decided not to use a Star image but instead a inanimate object. The Zippo lighter was perfect for the connotation I wanted to set. The connotation is supposed to represent simplicity and a younger age when lighters are the panicle of all teenagers and how it warms and gives light which we all need to survive

This was the first edited lighter i used on Photoshop, I went for a warm but mysterious look, the font I used was very formal but did not follow the conventions for my genre. I played with both the gamma and both Hue and Saturation.

The final image had an effect called soft light and glow increase, this effect gave, I feel the image more texture and visual pleasure. The font I used was called “MV Boli” the reason I used the type of text was to gain the feeling of young writers and more so Graffiti Pen, making the album more genre orientated to its brand and target audience.

Inside Disk HolderThe inside of the CD case is a simple photograph with Candles as the main point of interest, the candle holder is a silver twisted table decoration, the plants on the corner that have been used were originally going to be cropped out, however after a little testing I decided to keep them and make them reflect each other, I also played with the curves on Photoshop and added extra red hue and saturation to darken the image but make the flame seem brilliantly white.

Back CoverThe long shot taken here was taken in the hall ways in Aquinas college, due to the clean white walls, it would be easy to edit as the are no other contrasting colours. The yellow lights were taken on Werneth low when taking a picture for the poster and front cover. There are only slight colour edits as the picture was near perfect. The star Image however has much done. Hue and saturation have been applied, blur tool has also come into play here, furthermore the picture has been cropped. The song titles are the original songs of the album.

The images on the left are just easy still shots that were manipulated to create the image we wanted.The record labels Logo is the original one of the official CD and we decided to use it to create authenticity.

Poster 1This was a simple photo taken at about 5 O’clock at the top of Werneth low in Stockport. The dark clouds and contrasting lights give a unique clean feel to this poster. The image itself is a single shot, alternatively it was to be used as the album cover however after many trials I decided to us it as the poster.
