Planning Ancillary products - Font, colours and design

First font ideas:

We tried out several fonts including Uranium, Master Plan, Birth of a Hero and Digital. We wanted something clear with a modern design to reflect the electropop genre.

Final font:

We decided on the font 'Disco inferno'. The name even suits the music, and the font is similar to 8 bit but has a cool shadow effect. This was made by a website called Dafont.com.

The title of this font inspired our album name, which is called 'Disco Never Dies'. Which is really optimistic, and promotes our artist's music in a good way. We were going to call it 'Brainwash' which entails the negative side of the music world where our artist is making people realise that some music is brainwashing the nation and youths. It was also going to describe how youths are being brainwashed by certain things in the world. The artist was going to make people aware of this, whilst enjoying his music to spread an optimistic view rather than a negative one.

First colour ideas: 

Black

Red

White

We were going to use a black and effect with a subtle use of red, but decided we wanted a bit more colour. 

Final colour ideas:

We chose blue and red as they are colours on the hoody we have for Robert's costume. It also has a patriotic feel, with subtle (optional) use of black/white for writing/info. Yellow was vibrant enough to spread a colourful message. Overall it has a primary colour feel, but we want to give it a modern twist. We are only going to use a maximum of 3/4 colours as too many would spoil the theme and would not look professional. 

First graphic ideas:

A wave effect and a circular design.

Final graphic idea:

We want to add Vinyls in our design as it relates to the DJ/Disco/Electropop theme, and is the image we want to produce our artist as. (DJ) It also includes a circular theme with subtle use of lines which can link to the line/shadow effect. This allows us to fill in space with circles and lines.

Colourful shadow effect.

Shadow effect condensed into repeated image, and can be condensed further to create lines.

Line effect - Layering. I like the dots which can represent flashing lights, and the use of a few colours throughout. She is combining modern with classic as there is a conflict in her costume (hat) which links to her name, then the line effect and the second font. It is best to use no more than two fonts.
