As part of our production we have to complete subsidery tasks being an album cover, front and back and an advertisement for the album. Due to using photoshop last year for our AS Coursework of the Music Magazine, I was able to put my skills I learnt last year to good use and produce subsidery tasks of a high standard.



I used Photoshop to produce these three items with original photos that were taken by myself. I titled the album 'You Are Who You Are' which gives an idea about the genre of music and the narratives through the music itself. This will appeal to my target audience and shows the inspirational style of music that will be on the album which was my aim.



This is the original photo I used for the album cover before manipulating the colours and editing it on the Photoshop programme:





After playing around with the image and finding the style I wanted to portray, I then put this album cover together. I have used the Album title, Artists name and 'Featuring titles' on the album cover, as the audience will then be aware of what to buy and what to look for if they were to purchase my album. With our market research, I have become aware that the more successful the advertisements and album covers, the more successful the audience interest and profits will become.

This is my finished album cover:



I then used a brick wall as a background to the back of the cover, including cong titles and a copyright sign below.

This is my final back of the album:




For the advert I knew I wanted to put the album cover as a whole onto the advert so again, my audience will know what to look for. I have also incorporated the 'house' style of the back of the cover with the brick wall as a background again.
