cheryl cole album experiments !!!!!

after creating a collage of cheryl cole, i didn't think that it was good enough for my album cover if i just left it in its original state, so i scanned it into photoshop and i began to play around with different styles and looks, i also wanted to add in some lyrics but i wanted the lyrics to represent the whole album so it had to be about summer, that is another reason why i chose to use cheryl because she has a song called under the sun which i thinks fits perfectly.

this was also a way for me to work out what word and what doesn't, so when it comes to my final album i will have a lot more knowledge of how to gain the best effects and what will show off the album best. i also like to try things iv never done and see if it works creating new looks that maybe haven't been done before will make my album stand out even more, that is what I'm always trying to achieve.

this was the best experiment that i did for the cheryl collage, i really like the way that this has turned out, i created this by first turning cheryl into black and white, that was to create the contrast between colour and non colour, i also made the colour of the strips stand out more and make the colours more strong this was also a way of making certain things pop out instead of everything being on colour pallet. i also made the colour of the picture a lot more brighter and added exposure to the image to make it look as if the sun is really shinning down.

i added text from the cheryl cole song under the sun and i put it on the camera because to me the camera represents summer as a lot of people chose to take a lot of summer pics of holidays and days out, i chose the lyrics under the sun because everything that happens in summer is under the sun.
overal i think that this picture worked the best and i would definitely use the techniques again for my album cover.

this was a really good experiment, i used the same idea i did when i created a typography photo, these were lyrics that resembled summer and all words that makes me think of summer. i don't think that i would chose this for me album cover as i think writing all over take away from the picture but i would definitely consider using texted overlay on parts of the album cover because i think it is really effect and creates the sense of layers and the words fit with the image which links everything together. this was a good way for me to see how a full page would look and find out what would work and what doesn't and play around with the effects and the outcomes so it allows me to improve all the time. 

this was a quick type that i tried, i wanted to take away from the mass of type and see how the type would look if i only used big letters and not so much writing. i think that it created a good effect but i don't think that it really works that way, i think that because all the writing is so big it just takes over all the picture, and makes the image look messy, i wouldn't use this for my album cover but i would definitely play around with text and different sizes to use on the cover because thats defiantly something that i want to use, and these experiments where good practise for me to see how different styles would look. and how type either makes the image amazing or takes away from the image.
