BEST COUNTRY MUSIC ALBUMS OF 2012

LINKS BETWEEN ALBUM COVERSIn almost all of the country album covers that I have seen the artist face is represent in some way. Most of the time the artist picture is the main feature of the album cover. In the covers that feature male artist the covers are a bit more natural as in they don’t have that many effects. Unlike the covers that feature female artist. They usually have effects that make the artist look whimsical or the face is partially faded.

TYPOGRAPHY RESEARCH

country

FONT: GOOD GIRL

HOW I MADE MY ALBUM COVER- I changed the filter on my picture to

make it look more serene- - I then used the gradient tool to add a

sunset effect o the sky in the picture- - I went online and looked for a font for

my album title. Coincidently the font was called serenity

- - I then used a brush tool to add subtle leaves

MY ALBUM COVER

EVALUATIONMy album cover reflected the research that I did on country music covers. The cover featured me in cover and it was calm which reflected my album cover title. In my opinion my album cover was natural like most of the country album covers that I researched.
