CD cover



We as a group have decided to make a CD cover that actually reflects the song we are making the video to "Monster". And in the video we have come up with so far it involves the transformation of a girl into a ware wolf , therefore we have decided to go for a half wolf half girl sort of image for the CD. We got this idea after we researched and tried to get a concept of what the album cover of a typical rock/metal song would look like and we got inspirations from a variety of album covers some of them rock music others which weren't. Even though we are creating an album cover for just one song we wanted the audience for the product to have an idea of what sort of music they are considering to purchase just by looking at the album cover. therefore as said before, for the front cover we concluded a close up shot of the half girl half wolf image would would quickly grab the ttention of the audience and cause them to think what the music is really about, which by looking at the album cover now seems pretty obvious. We chose to go with the "half girl half wolf" idea because its a clear illustration of what the song "monster" is saying. When creating the album cover we got inspiration from the album above on how to layout the artist and the album title on the album cover. We were going to also use a middle shot for the cover as seen on the one above however we chose to use a close up because it seemed much more appropraite considering the song we were using.
But for the back of the CD cover we decided to use a shot from our video, a shot of the cemetary and how it appears during night time we chose this concept because it reflects the mystery and darkness behind the song "monster" and again would further reinforce the audience's view of the song as a rock/hard metal sort of song.
