For the front cover of my CD I have chosen a picture of the artist lying down with a spotlight on her face, this presents a close up image of the artists face. This will make her age more obvious to the consumer, therefore consumers of a similar age and gender (18 year old girls) then they will be able to relate more to the artist and what she is singing about as they might be in a similar situation. A close up of the artis will also be helpful for buyers so they can link the artist with the video and helps with the promotion of the artist herself. The contrast between the black and white on as a theme throughout my CD cover is similar to the directing contrast of the negative and positive theme in the video, with dark unnatural and light natural lighting in urban and rural locations.
