What elements should be grasped in album cover design?

How to design the album cover, the design company's overall image and quality of the album, cover design as the most direct presentation and visual impression, its importance is self-evident, mainly through words, pictures, themes, forms and so on. Among them, the text is the synthesis of point, line and surface design, and the cover can be without graphics, but it can't be without text. Excellent cover can not only give people bright visual enjoyment, but also reflect the intrinsic value of the album itself. So, what elements should be grasped in the design of album cover?

In addition to the title of the book, the cover style also needs to be printed. Fonts commonly used in book titles can be divided into three categories: calligraphy, art and printing. In addition, it is particularly important to choose the appropriate text size and style. Only by paying attention to the rational layout of the text and improving the layering of the cover can we show and convey the reader-centered idea at the first time.

Mainly divided into three categories: square version, horizontal version and vertical version. Generally, it depends on the needs of customers. The shape of album design will also affect the presentation effect of the inner pages, but everyone's aesthetic tendency is different, so I won't introduce it here.

The importance of cover color is self-evident. But the collocation of colors and fonts is related to the overall aesthetics of the album. For example, the overall background should be gray, and the font color can be bright with high color purity. But it depends on the reading group of the album.

Conceptually, superposition is easy, but giving up is difficult. If all the ideas are piled together, it will be counterproductive. So learn to "subtract" unnecessary details.

In short, when designing the album cover, we should make contributions to the album based on customers' requirements and all-round and multi-angle considerations. Regarding the design of the album, besides the cover, how to make the layout of the inner page also needs to be carefully understood.
