These are some of the possible fonts which I
will include in my work, this is because some
of these fonts are very simple however when
they would be combined with my simple
modern album cover will fit together
perfectly.
These are some similar colours to what I was talking about in my production
experiments. I have used many reds, purples, blues, orange, yellow and
whites, these colours made up the background, fonts and sponsor logos of my
production experiments CD cover. All of these colours come together in very
common house album covers including greens because house album covers
have a theme which in genuinely a real photograph of a landscape which has
some unique shapes in the middle of the cover. These covers look very smart
and modern which matches the type of music on the album

As you can see I have created a style sheet for one of my production
experiments which I have designed. I have included the colours and
fonts which I have used to create my production experiments. A you can
see, the fonts which I am using all have similarities which are that they
are all of the letters are very straight and spaced out evenly which
shows me that the fonts are modern.
In the cover you can see that the background is mainly purple. This is because I added a linear light overlay on
top of the background layer, which has made the background nearly fully purple, the slight hint of orange in
the centre of the album creates a very aesthetically pleasing sunset. In the middle of circle you can the
contrast dramatically changes, this makes the colours inverse making the image inside the circle more intense
and brighter to look at.
I think that my audience will enjoy the style of album which I have
chosen because I have included very modern and simple fonts and
my audience told me in my questionnaire that they liked to see
modern looking albums. I also think that my audience will enjoy then
modern layout of the shapes in the middle of my album cover.

4. Style sheet
• All of these colours which I have collected are some possible colours which I will
choose , this is because though out all of the products which I will produce they
will include the use of bright engaging colours. This will help make my product
stand out from other competitor products. I think that the colours which I have
chosen will be liked by most of my audience, this is because most of the colours
which I have collected are not aimed at a specific gender. How ever a few of the
colours which I have collected could be seen as colours which are aimed at certain
gender.
• I think that my audience will like the colours which I have chosen because I chose
tropical and mutual colours which most people like as I found out on my survey
from my research document.
• I also think that my audience will enjoy the fonts I have chosen, this is because I
collected 10 fonts which all are one of three types for example modern, formal and
bold. My audience will enjoy these types of fonts because in my interview I found
out that my audience enjoy more modern and unique albums.

5. Layout 1
HORIZON
In this design for my first
layout, I have chosen to
use a image of the
horizon for multiple
reasons. One reason why
have decided to use this
image is because make
the general layout of the
album cover simple yet
effective, also this photo
links into the title of the
album cover. In this
album cover there are
many bright colours
used. These colours
range from the dark
orange sky the
illuminatus yellow from
the music branding logo.

6. Layout 2
ASPECT
In this layout I have decided to
go for a very simple design.
This is because when I did my
research on similar products
with the same genre of music
they all had simplistic designs.
I decided to collect this image
for my second layout because
of the amount of detailed
which is included into this
simple design photograph. The
photo includes mainly primary
colours other than black white
which means that the colours
used are very affective for
image. This will appeal to my
target audience because they
enjoy other simple however
effective album covers.
