Flick the Switch (Single Abum Cover)

Flick the Switch (Single Abum Cover)

This is our new CD cover for King of Spain's single 'Flick the Switch', and we decided to use the image of the band this time and make it even more original, but still slightly misterious, like our first idea using an effect from, the 'Comic Life' Programme.
The background is an original image from their own website, so we thought it would be very interesting to use, and it turned out to be very good, and worked quite well with the image and theme.
There is also the back cover for our CD with the King of Spain track list.

This is our poster to promote King of Spain's tour. 'Come Play With me' is an actual tour that is going to happen this summer and King of Spain will be taking part, The tour is promoted by 'Shifty Disco'.
For this poster I have used original pictures from the band member that were available at their website. The title on the poster is part of the actual King of Spain Logo, with I cropped and enlarged to fit the picture. This poster is supposed to be advertising the band and their upcoming performances; the style of the poster is pretty much my original idea, I tried to make as original as possible, but the way that I have placed the name of the places they will be performing was something that I saw in a NME magazine.

STEP BY STEP

1) This is the first image I used, I decided to use the 'sponge' effect to make nearly everything black and white so that the guitar would stand out more, and I also enlarged the picture a little and tilted it slight to the right.
2) Then I got the lead singer's picture and enlarged it as well, and decreased the opacity of the picture so that it had this transparent look, so we are able to see both pictures, and also I thought that the blending effect looked really good and unique.

3) After I used the bands original logo at the bottom of the poster, and from that logo I used a tool to crop the title 'King of Spain' from their original logo. Also I used an effect to change the colour of their logo and make it sort of negative and white so that it would stand out.

4) Then I added the extra information like the 'website' at the bottom if people wish to know more about the tour. and added the name of the tour 'Come Play With Me'
Finally I added the name of the places they would be playing and tilted it to the left to make it more appealing and original.
