After constructing an inital range of designs regarding the mixmag magazine design work i reflected back to the group, discussing how we could implement any of these ideas into the album artwork. An idea still favored by all of us is the paint in water technique which expands upon our powdered paint idea found in our concept. Therefore after some development of the inital idea we came up with this inital design regarding the album front panel design.
For the majority of our design work we plan on using Photoshop as the final outcome will be more accurate, smooth and overall bring about a more professional feel to the designs.
To create this effect on Photoshop I used the fx effect to enable me to produce a more transparent effect to our text, as it will work well with erased image placed as a top layer. Additionally I have used a second image to create this 'image text' effect showing the image through the text. this is something that we have previously thought about creating due to this effect being found in existing album artwork like 'majestic casual' who conform to the same genre of music as our track does.
The picture above is the initial edit testing this 'image text' effect.
This is a very good first design which we will be able to develop, but in terms of the dusted, feathered style, this will fit our genre well.
