cd design reasons.

the reasons behind my design ideas are all to do with the genre of the music which i choose as heavy metal and rock, the colors i used are very dark backgrounds with a red or orange flamed for-ground the images i used represent evil anger destruction and fantasy.

for example on my city of evil cd cover there is a city silhouette encased in flames with a pitch black background and two red demonic eyes floating menacingly above the city.

the large very bold headings are typical of heavy metal cd covers as the bands will want there names to be noticed.

the typography of the cd covers is based on the large images being the front of the selling point of the cd and the main thing that can attract the eye of the buyer with the large image taking up the whole of the front cover with the designs and can use the color to its advantage of standing out on a shelf.

the design ideas were made from combining ideas from the cd covers of dragonforce, disturbed, and avenge sevenfold i used them as my design inspiration.

my cd covers are different from others in the class but as i used some design for inspiration im sure there are other c.d's out there that have very similar aspects to mine but none are the same as my cd designs are unique.

the bands names is going to be printed onto the c.d cover (back) .

the promotional aspects of the cd will be used by having multiple band names and the songs of theirs on the cd.
