Flat plans for print task


This is the flat plan for the back of my album cover.
Colour: the colours I have picked are black and white, as I like how the two colours contrast. I also like the simplicity of just having two simple colours. It's minimun detail yet stull very effective. The background will be white with the diamond being black. This will fit in with the front cover.
Text: the only text on this side will be the song titles within the diamond, as well as the copyright details along the bottom.
Layout and Font: the font used will be simple and readable. It will be white so it stands out against the black and goes with the theme. It will be something neat and clear, like Arial for example. The text will be fitted withing the diamond. The layout will be simple - the diamond will be placed in the centre of the page.




This is the flat plan for the front of my album cover. 
Colour: the colours I have picked are black and white because of the way they contrast. As well as this the two colours are very simple, but they go together and are very effective. The image will be in black and white with the background being plain white and the board either being a blackboard or a whiteboard.
Image: the only image I will use on this cover will be of the main person starring in my video, holding up a board with the name of the album and possibly the artist's name. It will be a full body medium long shot and will be head on to the person. The person's facial expression won't be a strong emotion, but will be a neutral kind of expression. They will be making eye contanct with the camera and they won't have any particular stance, they will just be plainly standing.
Text: the text will be on the board and will relate to the image.
Layout and Font: the font will be the opposite colour of the board, and the writing on the board will be hand written.
This is the flat plan for what the CD would look like.
Colour: again, the background will be white to stay consistent, although the disc that would go here would be black to continue with the contrast which is the theme of the CD package. 
Text: text will be on the disc - the artist and album title.
Layout and Font: the font will be the same font used on the outer casing pages and this will be positioned around the bottom right of the disc. It will be low key and, once again, simple and easy on the eyes.


This is the flat plan for the inside of the album case.
Colour: the background behind the images will be white, while the images will be in colour to avoid the promotion pack becoming too repetitive, although this may change depending on what colour scheme looks best.
Image: there will be around five images per side on the inside of the album case, and these will all be medium long shots of the person I will be using. Each image will consist of a different pose and/or facial expression as I think that this would make my album art more interesting and fun to look at.
Text: there will be no text on here as I think just having the images will be more effective.
Layout and Font: the layout will be basic - the images will be spread across the two sides on the inside case and will fill the majority of the pages. Although it doesn't seem simple it will hopefully portray this way to the audience.  

Overall, I hope to make my album art look professional and of a high standard.
