• Point of sales display for Graphics GCSE
    5 replies, posted
So I'm doing graphics I have to recreate an existing album cover, and I have chosen Enter Shikari's "Take to the Skies" This part of the coursework is the Point of Sales display, I'd like to know what you think. I created all of the stuff in the image, except the "ΣΠΤΣR SHΦΚΔRΦ" font, and of course the shop logos. I tried to make it fit in with their website's style with the colour scheme and stuff ([URL]http://www.entershikari.com/[/URL]) Also before you question the empty space in the bottom right, that is where the little thing that holds the CDs will sit, so that needs to be empty. Anyway here it is, be gentle: [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/hv5mp1.jpg[/IMG]
To comment on the original album design (not sure how well you've copied it) I like the angled text, but the right upper corner one just looks wrong somehow. And I wouldn't put it behind the other font layer. Also the Enter Shikari font is pretty messy, I first read it as Zitter Shokari...
Well the Shikari font is the exact logo they have on their website, I agree it's a little weird but It's easily recognisable to a fan of the band. unless you're not talking about the text in the image, if you mean the ΣΠΤΣR SHΦΚΔRΦ that I copy and pasted above then I totally agree it's hard to read. About the other text's transparency issues. I actually don't know why it's showing the other text through it, because the layer isn't transparent, I just thought it looked cool and was planning to make it semi transparent anyway so I didn't bother finding out why that happened. I tried deleting the text and redoing it but it gives me that strange look every time. [editline]09:53PM[/editline] Looking at it some more I think that the right hand text is too big and spaced out, would you agree?
Only problem I see is that the colour scheme matches that of 'Tribalism' and 'Common Dreads' But, as it's about the graphics and not the band... It looks really nice. Can't really find any faults.
I'm attempting to make it like the style of Tribalism, because that's the state their website seems to be in at the moment. I just did it about Take to the Skies because that's my favourite album by them, not like my teacher is going to know anything about them anyway. thanks for the compliments!
This your ESA?
