11s Colour CD Cover




Elements of Design:
Line, Shape, Form, Texture

You are going to take a series of high contrast B/W photos for a CD cover. The music is up to you- could be a remake of an already existing CD for your favourite band, or a CD cover for an independent band, or for an imaginary band. Your images should be distinctly inspired by a musical genre or style of music. Your series will be photographed with black & white film, but printed monochromatically using the colour printer. Each of your images should include at least one of the Elements of Design: lines, shapes, texture, form, colour (but hard to do in BW film, that will happen in the darkroom).


Colour Darkroom:
Print a BW contact sheet, make sure you have included all of the elements of design. Then print four 5 x 5 prints. They are square to fit the proportions of a CD cover, so consider the format when you are shooting, you will have to crop off part of your photo. You are to print your photos on colour paper with the colour processor. You are to use colour filters to create mono-chromatic (one colour) colour. Try four out of six colours of the colour wheel. Remember that the colour on the enlarger will make the opposite effect on your print. Adding a yellow filter creates a purple print.
