Album cover

For my album cover, I had to use this image:

This band name: Forever Delayed

And this album title: All is lost.

I played around with different ways I could use the image and decide to crop it like so:

And just to add to this, I added a level of black and white at a 38% opacity and slightly altered the brightness to make it a little more washed out.

Then I added the band name in kunghtrep font. I decided to use white as the typeface colour as it stood out from the background best:

Next, I added the album title in impact font. I made sure this was aligned with the band name and I decided to put this in red to add some colour to the cover:

After much deliberation of something not looking quite right, I decided that the bright red was just too bold for the other washed out colours so I toned it down slightly and went for a peach colour instead. I also experimented with the album title positioning and tried to see if it worked with the band name slightly overlapping it.

I decided to chose the design where the band name and title were not overlapping and I'm pleased with the end result. I feel that I have carefully thought about alignment, filters and fonts.
