Sophie Bishop's Ellie Goulding Digipak analysis and response

This is Ellie Goulding's Halcyon Days album cover font and back. This photo to the left is the front cover, Ellie Goulding is in this photo, which shows her appearance is as much of the album as herself. She has an emotionless face, and has swooped her hair across the face, as if it has been frozen in the moment. This surreal edgy photo, adds to her image and brand. the obre effect added in editing, adds to her fun image.





The back cover of the album, has all of the titles of the songs in the album. The back also contains this obre effect, to complement the front cover. 

This photo is the single cover for Halcyon in the album, I am going to respond to this photo, but use the effects of the actual album cover.

I will now take a photo of my self, taken by Sophie Gordon, and edit it in the same way as the album is.

I have firstly placed my photograph, I decided to use,

 and altered the brightness, contrast, saturation, and vibrancy.

I have then used the gradient/ombre effect tool in a new layer, using a purple/blue and a pink, using the same colour scheme as the original. 

I have then used the erase tool, on the bore/gradient effect layer, so the face is clear like the original.

I have then added text, on a new layer, I have used a similar text as the original.

I am now creating the back cover, I have used the radient tool again, on the background using the same colour scheme.    I have also used a barcode, so it looks realistic.

I have written the whole track list as well, as the original and every album cover does.

I have sized the album cover, and added a bar between them with the title.

I am now adding the font, with the artists name and album title,  in the bar  in-between the front and back cover.
