Practice album covers

As part of our ancillary, we're asked to create an album cover for our chosen artist. 

My group and I have created a couple of practice album covers in preparation, while gaining experience and knowledge of the programmes, such as photoshop, used to create them. We used the font Bastille use on their existing albums, in order to get an idea of effect and a sense of theme, however we're changing the font for our final cover. For this cover, the font has been cut out, so a black and white image can be seen through the lettering. We decided however, that this didn't look right, and didn't fit the theme or genre of the artist. Following this, we created a second practice cover, adjusting the position of the words, while adjusting the opacity of the foreground, so the black and white image behind can be seen, while the lettering still stands out. 

Overall we decided the second cover was a lot better, and therefore we're aiming to create something similar for our final album. We will use a different image as the background, as the one we used for this was a practice and therefore the right clothes were not worn, and the framing isn't perfect. We're changing the font, however we still feel following the theme of chunky block lettering will work best with our chosen artist.
