Adam started using Photoshop to experiment with some front cover ideas. He took a picture of Glenns guitar that we had taken when filming. He then added the gradient that we had identified on Noel Gallaghers digipak. Adam transfered the gradient that I had created onto his computer. Before he did this Adam changed the opacity of the picture as the original image was too bold and needed to be subtle.
Adam then added the text that was neccessary to make our cover look authentic. Collectivley we looked through Da Fonts website a identified the fonts that we thought best matched the image and the house style we were trying to create. The fonts we used were Coaster for the band and artist title and Mistral for the other text on the cover. We also noticed that on Noel Gallaghers digipak he has the 'o' in Noel smaller with an underline. This would increase the likness of our product to Noels digipak. To create this effect we highlighted the 'o' then chose the "superscript" option.
Here is what Adam produced as our first idea for a front cover. We felt as a group that our front cover should be simple, because we felt it is difficult to represent the song title "What A Life" with a single image. We believe that the image of the guitar links with our video as Glenn uses the guitar in the video, this enables our target audience to link the two together something which is very important when creating a media brand. Adam decided to add strokes around the text to help them stand out against the background, as this is what we what our target audience to see, we need the key information to stand out.
