Album Artwork Practice: The Prodigy

























We decided to practice making more covers for our ancillary CD cover for the main task. We decided to pick The Prodigy's 'The Day Is My Enemy' was a good choice and we decided to recreate it using a badger instead of a fox and using diffrerent colours and backgrounds. This was the result of our works, we used a variety of different effects in Photoshop such as bevelling, embossing, colour and gradient overlays, background removing, blurring, reducing hue and saturation and also playing with levels of colour and light. This will be useful for our main CD cover task as we have learnt these effects which we can use in the main task. In addition, we will use the effects we learnt with the recreation of the Madeon logo and to utilise the placements of text and objects in the image to give it an authentic style to the album. In addition to this, we learnt that most digital covers are normally made with a size of 1200x1200 pixels which satisfies most sizes for digital retailers such as Beatport, iTunes, Bandcamp and Amazon which is another place we aim to utilise when targeting the song and video to our target audience.
