Our logos sketched



 

This logo, is specifically aimed at Angle our main artist. Keeping the main theme of music, there are headphones around the name, the name being in graffiti, due to the culture and the background of the artist, the main theme is being shown throughout with the image shown of him in terms of being a bit street and civilised at the same time, wearing a leather jacket and a snap back(hat) at the same time and making it work.






This logo is for the production company, keeping it simple but, having the consistency with the Angle font, this style is an attractive, attention seeking and something that a person will remember and will enable to accosiate the two artist and production company as part of one team.

My test album cover


I had a go designing an album cover, i think as my first attempt went okay with actual album art with pictures rather than typography-(something Ive previously done) is very hard. I found the right kind of effects and to have a balance, not too much editing and not a bland picture. I felt to try something in a way weird and different, as seen by Angel's previous albums they are very unique and stand out.

In a way my album i feel does reach that expectation, even though this is just a test, first attempt. It has a blurry vision, with a special curl effect, that is under 10 to give a twist, underneath the actual picture is a blue gradient, which i have shown by bringing the opacity of the actual picture down slightly and a merge effect. I have used font that stands out and even put a bold looking effect with a blue rim around the text, making it stand out even more. As an additional touch i have added the parents advisory logo, giving it a professional look.

Angel album art research

Angel is still counted as an upcoming artist, although quite popular in the UK, he still has a lot of people around the UK who may not have heard of him, i can personally say that some friends in college are not even aware of him. What my main purpose of saying is, that he is still not that well- known and so only has two albums released, to gather information of what type of person and what is represented of him and his style through the art is than very difficult.

Starting with the first official album he released, called '7 minutes before time'- In this album you can see a major close up of the artist's face and another key signifier in just the photo, is the tattoo on his hand which says his name. Apart from this is the digital type face where it represents time, which often can be seen in digital format and in this case is in the title of the album. Cleverly if you notice, instead like other album covers where the artist name is blatantly shown, you have the tattoo showing the name indirectly.





The second and more recent album from Angel is called 'in between time' - In this album there is a smokey theme where the album, seems to be covered with a black and smoke theme, all you can see is another close up of the artist's face but mainly shown are the eyes.


Overall you can see that each album has a movement and image, it started with the before time than moved too, in between time, the next could be after time possibly.
