I chose this image because i felt that even though it is very simple and plain it has a lot of meaning and says a lot. The song is very sad so this picture shows shes upset and regretful by her body language and the fact that her face is covered and shes looking down she could be remorseful.
I am going to edit this picture and take screen shots of the construction of my front cover.
This screen shot shows that in Photoshop i have edited the picture for my front cover. I have changed the exposure and contrast of the picture to give it this dark and gloomy but also slightly bright effect. The reason for this is because i wanted the picture to look dark and mysterious as the song is sad and the theme of the video is glum and deep so i wanted the pictures to portray the same theme. I also kept the bottom of the picture quite bright and luminous as i wanted to show that the closer you get to the girl its all dull and its quite mournful round her and i also wanted it light so the text will show up.
This screen shot shows how i edited the text on my CD cover. I used the font that i tested in my font test. I put the text in the darker areas so they are more visible and stand out, i chose the light colours as they are very visible and also fit in well with the picture. Also as the picture is quite hard and dull the text brings light and a soft touch to the picture.
I used the font Lucida handwriting for the artist name and Ovator Std for the name of the song. I felt these two fonts worked well as the font for the name is very nice looking and neat but the font for the song is more bold, stand outs, is very plain and makes a statement.
Final version of my front cover.
