Finally I added in the album name, band name and track list. I used a type face that I thought would suit the design. I used a typewriter style font, that reminded me of writing stories, which added into the fairytale type theme of the cover. I made the font white, so that it stood out from against the background, and so would be easily seen by customer and also easily read. Above is my finished product.
Have I stuck to my original ideas?
I have stuck to the same themes and elements such as the night sky, fairy tales and imagination, however I have further developed these and based them around particular themes, for example instead of just fairy tales, I have based it (kind of unconsciously) around a particular fairy tale, which is Alice in Wonderland, as you can see from the use of objects found within the story, however I didn't want to base it purely on that, so the presence of this theme of Wonderland, isn't so great. However overall, looking back at my proposal and mood board, I have stuck to my original idea and theme, and it has also turned out different compared to other peoples work, due to the themes and techniques used, like I wanted it too.
What would I change and why?
If I was to do my final piece again, I think I would try and render the images it better, because it some cases, such as the book and tea cup hanging off the tree, they don't look very well edited. I think I would also make the whole thing either more drawing based, or image/photography based, however I didn't really use that much photography in the first place because I didn't have much to take photos of, that would fit in with my theme. I think I would probably also have made the image of the tree on the front panel, a bit clearer also because the lines making up the tree, are slightly thin and aren't as clear to see against the gradient background. I think would have also used a more creative way of 'hanging' the objects off the tree, rather than using the shape tool to draw a line, I think it probably would have looked better if I used the chain drawings, that I used in the central panels.
