I have created my CD cover for Florence and the Machines Kiss with a Fist. Me and my group took several photographs of our main singer in various posistions and using different poses. I choose the one where she is jumping. I then used Photoshop and edited it, this took quite some time to do. I made the image of "Florence" jumping look old by the effectt on it and the adjusted brightness and contrast, so it relates to the overall look of the video. Then i thought i would want my cd cover to stand out so i then drew hearts behind her using all different shades of pinks and reds. I did think that this may look a bit like a pop cover but i think that the idea of whats behind it, the shot of "Florence" and the text dont represent pop at all. I made the heart look hand drawn on and "messy" to make it unusual and exiting It relates to the video with the shots of the paper hearts. I put a TV screen in the background to again relate. The CD cover then relates to the video which is important and links it all together.
Here is my final CD front cover.



Me and my group want all of our CD cover and adverts to in some way match and link together so we decided to use the same font and have the same image on our back cover. They do not look the same but elements of them are so people would be able to tell that they were for the same thing.
here is my final CD back cover.





I have created a advert for Florence and the Machine - Kiss with a Fist, to be displayed in NME to advertise the artist and to get people to buy the song. I have again used photoshop to do this. I have used similar elements in my advert to my CD cover, this was to link the two together. I edited the images so that they appear old, like old photography paper, this is similar to the overall look in the video. My advert looks like a face a i have divided the page so it goes eyes, information, mouth. I feel that it is more effectivethat the eye are looking away, not to the center. I feel that it seems "fun". I have put reviews on there tis then persuades people to listen and therefore buy the CD as many other people like it, and if you like NME and KERRANG! (which i have used) then you would be more inclinded to get the CD. I put the CD front cover on the advert so that people will know what it looks like if they want to buy it. I am pleased with how it looks.

Here is my Advert
