Album DesignSelf-Evaluation

Front Cover AnalysisThis is my final front cover. I am very pleased with the end result at it is very similar to how I planned and visualised it to be. I used the scratch-look font for my title to fit in with my military theme, as it suggests that conflict isn’t pretty. I have made the title larger than the artists name to try and portray that the music is more important than the artist. The image itself is of a man saving a cat from a tree. This because of my perception of the title 21 Guns. I believe it to mean that everyone can be a hero and earn their 21 Gun salute, even it is a little as saving a cat. I included the parental advisory logo at the bottom to suggest that the songs include naughty words as they are about serious matters. I have chosen to do it in colour rather than my original plan of black and white as I thought the black and white gave off the impression the genre of the album was hip hop or rap. In order to improve I think I should improve the quality of the composition to make it less obvious that is it photo-shopped.

Tray Card AnalysisThis is my final Tray card. I am very pleased with it as it links well with my front cover. I believe I did a better job with the tray card than I did with my front cover as it was far more simple to produce. In order to improve I will change the font of the title to match the one on the front cover and maybe change the colour of the song list. In response to some feedback I have received I will incorporate the badge of The Gloucestershire Regiment to reinforce my military theme.
