CD cover inspiration

I like this cover as it is simple and does not look overcrowded. I particularly like the colour coordination     

of the font and cheryl's outfit. I find the use of blurring on the image very creative and interesting.

This is the back of one of Cheryl's album covers. I particularly like the script type font and the wooden effect of the background.

Photo editing

This image of my friend Alysha is exactly what i'm looking to capture in my own image at the studio shoot. I have considered using Alysha as my cover model.

 This is the original image of Alysha which i used to experiment with on a photo editing website. I like the use of selective focus as the blurred effect in the background allows Alysha's facial features to stand out. 

I chose to make the image black and white as I thought it would be effective to highlight some features in colour. I coloured her eyes bright blue and found this made the image look almost hypnotising. I also coloured her lips pink to add a touch of femininity.
