Pre production

1. Pre-Production

2. Style sheet
This font is bold so that it catches the
audiences attention and it looks quite
masculine so that it gives an element on
power. The colour red represents the
passion for the music and it represents
excitement for the new album and it is a
lively colour which suggests the energy
and could represent the strength and
power that the artist
The font that I’ve used is Berlin Sans
FB Demi I'm not too keen on this
font because I don’t think it would
go well and be taken seriously on a
hip-hop album however the colour
could suggest wealth as green is
“the colour of money” for the us
currency which is why it suggests
wealth

3. This text I have used is Ariel and it bold
and this is a good font because its simple
however it also stands out to the
audience. It would also look good on a
hip-hop album cover because it isn’t too
fancy and you don’t want all the
attention on the font and this just gets
straight to the point. The colour black
could adds a mysterious element to the
album and it represents luxury and
power
The colour purple could suggest royalty
and it also represents luxury I don’t think
this would be a good colour to use as its
used to mainly target females and my
main target audience are males. I also
don’t think the text would work great on
my album cover because its too fancy
and its hard to read

This is my main image

chosen red as it
