Making of preliminary task

how I made the cover etc

I decided to look in my photo gallery in order to find inspiration for a specific genre, because I like different styles of music this was a way to settle on one genre. I found a very unusual and funny photo of a monkey and I.

This is the original photo made in Thailand 2 years ago. The context is that me and my family went to a "monkey park" because we found it interesting, there some staff of the zoo were waiting for tourists to show up so that they make the monkeys sit next to them or even on them. They charged extra of course but we found it interesting and decided to do it. The guy instructing the monkey also made the pictures, but what we didn't know was this "selfie trick". He would hold a treat for the monkey right next to the camera and the monkey would reach for the treat, in that moment the instructor would snap the picture and it would look like a monkey-made selfie.

My next step was to find the right genre and name for the album. When looking at the picture you can see the difference in evolution between humans and wild animals, the way they live is amazing as they do not have a cognitive perception of things, therefore of Life, which means that most of those animals have really basic needs that when fulfilled happiness is achieved.

In the park, I saw how monkeys were roaming around freely and it reminded me of a party I had been to last year. While I was there I saw a resemblance between the jungle and the club as to how people reacted and felt during the show. The people felt a sense of freedom as they were dancing exactly how most animals feel in the wild. Therefore the genre of the album cover is going to be electronic (drum and bass). Rumble in the Jungle is going to be the "album"'s name as it provides a direct connection with my starting idea. The app I used to make the cover was Canva Pro. I started with a cutout of me and the monkey so I could add a more simple background to highlight the subjects. Also, the Explicit Content sign was added to give a more professional look and to be differentiated as an album cover. I decided to add a black and white filter over the picture, like in the Rumours album to make the writing stand out.

I tried many styles of colors, fonts, sizes, and effects. These are some options I used.
