The inside pages.

For the inside i didn't want anything particularly busy. The style of Jack Johnsons music and the 'beach scene' which is portrayed by a lot of his music meant that i wanted to incorperate this style onto the inside. So i gathered a photo of a typical scene of the paddle out for a surf with your friends something that every surfer can relate to. From genereating this image i then cropped in such a way as to create a horizen that wasnt directly in the centre. Because of the fact that the clouds came over for this particular session i wanted to enhance the image to give it a much mroe warmer feel. So i changed the brightness as much as i could get away with in order to give the photo that warmer feel.

After cropping it to the correct size I then had to creat a divide. This was done simply by placing two lines down the middle. I then placed the (BUSHFIRE RECORDS CO.) symbol down the center in order to give a continuity of the record label which is a common code and convention a business would use in order to repeat the business name so that it increases is poularity. I also softened this text with the opacity bar aswell as the picture to give the cover a mroe fresh look.

Finished:

I Then felt i needed to bring in some more shapes and text in order to give the Final Piece a more solid look. I started of by placing the name of the artist 'Jack Johnson' in the top left hand corner in neat black writing and then underneath a quick blurb which is a bit about the particular artist and what he and his music is about. This fit in nicely with the image behind sitting perfectly ont he horizen line and finishing off the left hand side of the page with a profesional look.

To ultimately finish the inside page i started to mess around with shapes and used grey circles made translucent in order to create the base and background which is obvioucly where the CD would sit. I then started using diagonal bars put in at angles. This again braught in new angles to the imagery and gives the finished image a nicelook.
