Maddie Le Riche created a CD cover project that went through multiple designs. The initial design featured Ellie Goulding faded into the background with glitter overlay. A second design used a casual long shot of the artist to suit an indie-pop genre. The final cover was edited in Photoshop and InDesign based on the second design, changing the genre from pop to indie-pop to match the casual photograph.

3. Initial designs
front card (front of case)
Artist name
= image of artist
For my image I want to use the idea of Ellie
Goulding's image being faded into the background.
I also want to add a glittery sheet over the top of
the background and artists of the image to make
the album look more interesting
For my image of the
artists I would either
like a close up image of
the artists or an image
of the artists where she
is in a position as I
think it would suit the
‘pop’ genre I am using
for my album cover.

4. Album name and Artist – Font style

7. Initial designs
front card (front of case)
= image of artist
For my front image I would like a long shot image
of the artist where she is in a casual position
rather than a pose as I think it would suit the
‘indie-pop’ genre I am using for my new idea for
my album cover. I would also like the image to be
followed on to the tray card with out the artists
just the background, as I want the artist only
featured on the front cover and have a more
casual tray card.

Edited in Photoshop and InDesign

9. When I was creating my CD cover, I changed theme for my cover as I preferred my images and
ideas linked to my second idea for a CD cover better than my first idea. The genre for my Cd cover
has changed from pop to indie-pop as when I took the images it suited more of an indie-pop genre
as it is the type of photograph you would expect from a indie-pop artist rather than just a pop
artists. Therefore I have suited my final design around that genre.
