Front and Back of Album

I have finished the design work on the front and back of the album for my piece, I am quite pleased with the results as I believe they look quite professional and convey the mood of the songs on the album:

As previously stated, I am incredibly fond of the design and how it has turned out. The Fractured lettering on 'A Familiar Picture' is a strong and heavily visible part of this album, the lettering is designed to compliment the title and theme of the main song, 'Castle of Glass'. The actual placement of the album title below the band was used as an impromptu underline, the purpose of this is to both fill out the cover and it also makes the piece appear more uniform. The addition of the rose is also highly prominent and it gives the album a strong memorable feature outside of the simple grey and white theme, the strong red of the rose makes the whole design 'pop out' in addition to providing an indication of themes of love and tragedy found in the albums songs.

The back of the album cover was designed to compliment the front hence the same background being used. The relevant legal information is of course present and the custom record label logo gives the album its air of legitimacy. For the track listings I placed each song vertically as usual however I left out the numbers on the track listing, the effect of which is that the songs each have their own importance, they are not simply listed as they are each given their own breathing room. The underline is the strong design aspect of this piece as it is similar to the front and holds the piece together quite well
