Treatment and CD cover

We have started to do out treament over again because after looking at our last one we didnt have much details. Looking at the example of Eightball - My homeboy's girlfriend treatment by Christopher Erskin and N-Dubz - I need you by Ben Peters i relised that the two were very different. Christopher Erskins was very detailed treatment which went through every shoot describing everything visual and all the technical details. On the other hand Ben Peter's gives you a little outline then goes into the story then goes into detail and then shows a few visual preference. He did not explain any of the camera shoots.

Keith then showed us his idea of the album cover. I really liked his idea because it related alot to our character and is very good for a first idea. The ablum has orphan on it in a grave yard inbetween to grave stones which are of his mother and fathers. The ablum is dark and in black and white.

The problem is that it is not every eye catching. If it was next to aload of different covers it wouldnt stick out and it wouldn't get the consumers interested. These are examples of ablum covers that follow the same idea but i feel don't really catch your attention.

This ablum cover doesn't attract me because it is plain and dull. They have tried to make it more attractive by the colour of the font being bright in contrast with the backgroud. But this did not really work because you can not understand what it says because of the choice of font used and the whole cover doesn't tell you anything about the artist or the genre of music.

I think this is a good ablum cover because it catches your attention. The cover tells a story with them being in a toilet and the man on the floor and a womans foot on him makes you want to know who the people are and why they are in that postion. also the colours used. The colours and the situation give you an idea of the artist personality and the audience they are goinh for. This is also shown by the use of lettering. The letters look like graphity public toilets and relates to the name of the cover 'Good Girls Gone Bad' so it all has a rebilious feel to it and rebilious teenagers would feel a contection with this cover.

I feel it ours ablum cover could be improved by adding some colour to it. Maybe red or bright blue because these bright colours contrast againt the black making it more noticeable.
