Album Cover Project

Existential Mannequin is the band name that I came up with for this assignment, and "The Artist Goes Invisible" is the name of this particular album. I chose the album title based on the band name and the "feel of music" I was trying to portray, which is kind of Indie/Ska/Rock. The two figures in the background represent mannequins [in relation to the band name] and the figure in the forefront is less noticeable. I made it transparent to make the album cover more interesting, and the figure is a mannequin as well... My theme for this album cover was "Subtle, yet edgy" which was why I chose the more subtle lavendar color as the base, and the edgier lime green color for the font. My choice in font is fairly simple, adding to the subtle effect. Yet, even the lowercase is in all capital letters, adding to the edgy effect. Developing the film was fairly easy; it was the printing that gave me the most difficulty, but i learned from it. I learned to buy the amount of paper that I'm going to use in that one day, and how to test the print properly. I am completely satisfied with the outcome of this assignment:)
