DVD EP Album release

'Can't Pretend'

This is the front of my CD cover which i designed using one of the photographs i took, of stills from the footage i was going to use in my music video.
I think that by using an image of the character on the front cover it emphasises what the narrative of the music video is going to be. I also like the use of black and white for the image as i think it gives the image a much more interesting look and feel. The colour and font of the writing fits in with this perfectly, however as a first ever single from the band i am not sure it promotes them as much as i would like.
However i think that using an image of the actual band on stage on the back of the CD cover would make it look more like a new single release. I think keeping with the black and white colour scheme and also the same font would make this a really successful first CD cover. I think that writing the song name, band members etc. over the image of the band will make it look really professional and will still promote the band even though it also has an image of the storyline of the actual song on the front.



What i like about this image is the fact it is a still image of one of Kakuzi's live performances. The front of the CD will attract the audience as i find it quite a captivating image. The back will show the audience they are not just a small time band and have had plenty of performance experience meaning they already have a large fan base, attracting buyers as they will want to know why this band are so popular.

I also added the "preview of music video 'can't pretend'" because this is often something that is included in single releases, and this can also be used to promote the band and make their faces known to their audience and within the music industry.
