This is my first album cover idea. I arranged for Sadie to meet me in the photography studio to take photographs primarily for the ancillary texts. This is as I initially used screenshots taken from the music video and the quality wasn't very good. I uploaded the photos onto Photoshop and using the "Healing brush tool" created a flawless look as it is a convention that music artists always look there best. Then using 'Curve levels' I made the background very plain so as to make Sadie stand out. Then I duplicated the layer and set the opacity to 60% and using the arrow played around with it to create a double exposure. This links to the music video as there are shots of Kate with double exposure and also the use of different images goes with my kaleidoscope theme throughout the video. I then used a text box to write the artists name over the album cover and made it pink to not only make it stand out but to give the cover a feminine edge which goes with the ideology of Grimes music.
This is my second idea for an album cover, using Photoshop I cropped an image of Sadie to make it square album cover shape and then using the brush tool went over her eyeliner to make her eyes stand out more. I then used the text tool to write 'GRIMES' over in baby pink to add femininity.
