Album Cover









Research played a huge role in designing the cover, from looking at other products a key feature is neon colours. We decided to use three colours and blend them using different shades; this gave us a futuristic neon look. This futuristic look links in well with the techno music of the album. We used the same thinking when creating the font for the album name; it sounds very bright and funky so we apllied bright colours around the font outline to give it an ecstatic look.

We used fireworks to design the cover using the line tool followed by the freeform to get the shape seen above. The silhouttes were also outlined using the freeform tool and coloured in black using the fill tool. Using the Fade feature we made the silhouettes less lifelike - this added a sense of the surreal, something young people who go to clubs are looking for.
