Recreate Album Cover

Whilst researching different album covers for ideas, one thing we had to take into consideration was whether we could produce something similar to the high-budget covers with the equipment we have. I chose to recreate the album cover for Pink Floyd’s 8th studio album ‘Dark side of the moon’.  

I chose this album because the cover has a simple image. It is a plain black background with a light prism in the centre. Light prisms split up a single light beam to form a spectrum which is the rainbow we see coming out the right side of the prism. There is no text on this album cover. 

When recreating this image I initially used Microsoft Paint to draw the triangle, light beam and the rainbow of colours, using the reference picture for accuracy. I then transferred that Image into Microsoft word to add the white to black gradient section within the triangle. I did this because paint did not have the right tools for me to do this directly from there. Once in work I overlaid a new triangle, fitting it to the inside of the existing one. I used the gradient tool to make it gradient from white to black and removed any borders. I print screened the final image and moved it back into paint to save as a .jpeg file 

If I were to recreate this again, I would pay more attention to the proportions by making the triangle smaller. I would also make the colours on the right taper out slightly, something which I hadn't taken properly into account this time.

After attempting this recreation I believe the outcome was similar to the original However more sophisticated software may have been used to create the original and it would have been done by an experienced professional which I am not. After exploring this technique I have decided not to use it for my own album cover as I would like to use a photograph which gives off a more mature vibe.
