Mixing It Up

When we get set a different task every week, I'm finding it hard to think up ideas for the magazine front cover to use for the tasks. I then remembered that I'm not only doing a magazine front cover, I'm doing a CD sleeve too and I have more space to work with for that. So I decided to use the idea of the CD sleeve for the next couple of tasks.

This weeks task was called 'Mixing It Up' where we had combine different typefaces and experiemting with it against different backgrounds. On this task I used the idea of the using the covers of the band that are going to be on the CD and then make the covers into a collage background. I then played out with different bold fonts and colours to make the title stand out against the background. I then scanned in different parts of text from rock magazines and used that as the background. The next idea I had was to use scanned text from magazines that had just a white background - yet again playing around with the typography of the title.

Another idea I had was to type the names of the bands that were going to be on the CD and use that as a background.
