Project 2: For the CD cover I picked one of my favorite bands that really have a strong image and personality. I chose their newest album, “Congratulations” and began brainstorming images connected to the word, but that were not too obvious. I chose a group of people in a dark room celebrating with sparklers. I thought it would be fun and mysterious. I made it transparent so it was not too in your face, and so the band name and album name would stand out. I chose bright alternating colors for “MGMT” and a bright color for “Congratulations” to make it quirkier, following the band’s image. I also chose interesting font too keep it fun. For the back I redesigned the “Columbia” label, got a barcode, used the track listings from the album ( here were only 9), and followed the same look as I did on the front. I matched the sparkler color and made it the background, used the same font as “congratulations” and chose random letters and colored them differently to make up the word “congratulations”.
