Here are some CD cover which Inspired us

Me and Harriet have both started to design the CD cover of our Music video called Need you Bad by Jazmin Sulivan. We both decided to make the cover look like an RnB/Reggae style by research various CD covers within this Gener. We taking in to count that most of the RnB style covers normally features the songwriter with a close up of their face, so we really based our idea on that. So our initial design will be seperated into three cataoguies 1st would be the CD cover, 2nd The Lyrics of the song and 3rd would simply be the back cover of the CD.

The reason why we both decided to include the lyrics into our CD cover is because it would make our inside cover look really authentic due to the reggae gener often includes a song Lyric within a booklet.

Our Design will based upon two colours which are Black & Gold we are using this because black with gold looks modern. its a colour which is a bold & strong , within RnB cover they often go for strong authentic types of font, with sharp images which look pretty good plus it targets a young adult audience as many people are in to RnB so our main intended focus was to particuly target a young adult audience.

A feature which really works well for the cover is having spotlights as a caputers the thougts of a live performance.

Harriet thought by having the spotlights would also engage Maria as the star performer in the video do overall a good idea.

The front cover will consist of

• A Black background with Gold spotlights



• Gold Font Jazmin in Large size18/20 Bold



• Right Align Sulivan in Small writing Gold Font



• Picture of Maria face from video( real, cartoon, silloute shadow)

Lyric booklet
