Final CD Cover

For my CD cover for the Trance music genre, I have stuck to the generic conventions of the genre. For this I have made the CD look like its giving off a type a neon glow effect, a very common relation to the trance music genre. This is created by a strong contrast and exposure, which is also a re-occurring theme throughout the music video also, as it makes the neon colours really stand out in a strike and bold way.

I have placed the text and subject around the shining light in the background, which represents trance music is a new style to the typical genre of music mainstream audience heard. Gives a new light on music. The wording and subject also draws the eye in towards the frame, to suggest a type of explosion of new music this CD will give.

I have made the male protagonist a silhouette to create a sense of mystery to the character. Making the genre seem mysterious and trying to get the audience to discover this mystery through the music inside the CD cover.
