My design What I thought when I saw that pic of Ed was 芒聙聹what is he looking at?芒聙聺 And I rebreed how Ed referred to his music as colour so I thought about what shapes they would be what size and what trail they would leave behind and voila you have the orb/ space fish. So I wanted it to seam that the orbs special effects were achaly there flying around surrounding him, so I added in the reflections and I tried 芒聙聹semi芒聙聺 successfully to make it look like the green in his eye was a reflection of the huge green orb. I choose green not only because of his hoodie but it gose well with his hair. Because there was so much colour it made any of the black surrounding ed quite empty and I wanted this to be as much about him opposed to the special effects so on the left a put a faded face shot of his face in-between him and the font which I thought turned out quite slick. To his right I put in his wristband since he mentioned they were important to him. Plan b would have been to turn rizzel kicks into avatars ;] that would have been great Research I have designed movie posters/DVD covers before but I quickly realised that a documentary poster and an album cover for ed were completely different so I went to at least 3 HMV芒聙聶s and those old vinyl music shops flicked though albums inserts like chemistry books trying to pick up what was good the colour schemes and why they did, typography and where to place type, is it commercial? Ect. Why I choose Ed: I respected all three bands for getting out there making there own mix tapes and music videos and that if any of them 芒聙聹make it芒聙聺 then I hope they will proud to say that they this wasn芒聙聶t handed to them and that they really worked for it. But I thought if they all had a gig on the same night id got to Eds.
