Here is my input towards the ancillary task, the front cover, back cover and magazine advertisement.
The album by the band is self titled, Funnel. This album cover that I produced is loosely influenced by Oasis' Definitely Maybe album cover in the way that it shows all the band in a living room and the font I used is similiar to the one used by them.After realising psychedelic album art (that was my original influence) is very hard to produce using Indesign and Photoshop I opted for this simpler yet equally effective approach, with a simple handwritten font of the band/their album title.
I edited the photographs using Photoshop, by altering the brightness and contrast settings, levels and colour balance i was able to effectively edit the photographs.
The back cover of the CD displays the songs on the album, their record label and also the bar code for the CD. I chose this photograph for the back cover as it reflects the bands image and shows an everyday scene, in a way this was loosely inspired by The Streets' A Grand Don't Come For Free back cover of their CD, as theirs is of a fridge.
I am happy with this outcome and definitely feel these work as an effective final product for our ancillary task.
Above is the album art that will feature in the CD case, I went for a simple design using the classic Futura font for the word 'Funnel' and then used Indesign to add all the images together, then created a thin border to separate each one. I feel that a lot of artists and bands are using a style over substance approach these days when it comes to album art, and this simplistic technique that I have used in Indesign, I feel works equally as well.
