Florence and The Machines CD covers
Lungs" spawned several singles. The first, "Kiss with a Fist", was released well before the final recording of the album, on June 9, 2008. It charted at #51 on the UK Singles Chart. "Dog Days Are Over", the second single, was released on December 1, 2008 and reached #89 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was used in an advertisement for programming on RTÉ, an episode of BAFTA-winning teen drama Skins and the movie Jennifer's Body.
As a precursor to the album's July 2009 release, "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" was released as the album's third single on June 22, 2009. It received a considerably greater amount of airplay in comparison to the two earlier singles, and subsequently debuted at #12 on the UK Singles Chart.
Two other tracks from the album have charted. "You've Got the Love" was released after "Dog Days", available as a digital download. It peaked at #158 on the UK Singles Chart in early 2009, but re-entered the chart in mid-2009 at a new peak of #68. The song "Cosmic Love" has had considerable success in Ireland. Before the album's release, the song rocketed up the Irish iTunes chart to number 2 and debut at 3 on the Irish Singles Chart, higher than the actual single "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)", as a result of its use in an advertisement for The O2, Dublin.
"Drumming Song" was the album's fourth single. It was released on September 7 2009.
"You've Got the Love" was the fifth single of the album.

CD Digipack ideas
A digipak is a panented style of CD or DVD packaging. It is a trademark of AGI Media, who have licenced the design to manufacturers. It is often used for albums and singles all varieing in all diffrent kinds of music, games and DVDs. The plastic case is less vanurable to cracking than a jewel case. The disk tray inside the package the "teeth" of the hub that is used to secure the dick in place is still rather brittle; and is prone to cracking if the ase gets crushed in any way. Digipak- style cases grew in popularity among record lables and rescording artists in the earlie 2000s.
1.My First idea-->
These pictures of butterflys are ideas for the inner left panel.
.jpg)
This image of sweets is a rough idea of what i would like to do for inside.
Sweet Commercials--> all found from youtube.
This is the gummy bear advert that i saw on TV.
This is the skittles - taste the rainbow advert.
This is the M&MS christmas commercial.
2.My second idea-->
In this idea i decided to use make-up for the theme. For the front cover i used eye liner, nail varnish and blusher powder to write the title i would like to put a background picture if i use this for my final product; so i will develop my ideas further if i decide to use this. For the back i wanted to create quite a mysterious picture of a dark room with a bed underneath a window; i wanted to put silky black sheets on the bed and then fill it with flowers, then either have a girl ( who would look similar to Florence) laying in the middle, or just keep the flowers on it. I think this would work really well as Florence likes to use a variety of approaches on her CD covers. For the inside i would like to use make-up again and get about 3 different people to wear bright red lipstick and kiss the paper. I really liked this idea as i saw it in a magazine a while ago and thought it looked effective. Finally for the inner left panel i really wanted to create a moodboard of lots of different images. I have done this in other projects in college and think it would be great for enhancing the whole mood of the CD cover. I would add images such as: shoes, make-up, nail varnish, animals, music notes, guitars, people, colours, sweets etc. See below for inspiration.
3. My final Idea-->
For my final idea i thought i would make each idea really different so i cover every aspect of what i could do. This idea is a bit random. For the front cover i have put music notes along the top and bottom of the cover, written the title in rainbow colours and added flowers below. I have also added a little bumblebee on the top right corner. This gives it a summery bright feel. For the back i have got a girl (again who looks similar to Florence) wearing a long cloak with flowers coming down each side and along the bottom, she is pointing to the sun. I really liked this idea because it is different and something i think Florence and The machine would do. for the inside i kept it plain and simple by just having a rainbow across, i would play with different background colours and see what fits better as i wouldn't keep it white. Finally for the back i decided to use different colour balloon's, then in photoshop i would add the letters L,O,V,E to each balloon. I have also got clouds in the background so it continues to show the thought of summer and summer love. Finally i have added the title of the single at the bottom, i have done this in a curly type of text as i feel this fits the whole theme.
Overall im not sure what idea i will use. I think probably i will use a mix of each idea or progress the ideas i have further.
1.My First idea-->
This is one of my cd cover ideas. For this idea i have decided to use sweets for all the diffrent covers. I thought of using dirrent sweets because they are all really brightly coloured and they look mouthwatering on paper. For the front cover on this idea i thought about using diffrent coloured smarties on either a white or black background, i would like to put all the diffrent coloured smarties in the shape of a love heart. I will put the songs name on this, i would like to put Youve Got The... on the top above the heart and...Love underneath it using one of the smarties for the o. I also liked the idea of golden stars going up one side of the front cover. I have chosen all these iseas because i feel that they are sutle but fun. By using the idea of sweets i can really use a wide range of colour contrasts so that it is eye catching. For the inner left panel i had the idea of using all diffrent kinds of sweets to create a butterfly. I think this idea would be really hard tho so i will start to progress my ideas further. For the back of this CD case i had idea by using gummy bears to create a story. I have seen a few adverts where i got that idea of using sweets to tell a story by moving about. I have added these videos below. Finally for the inside behind the CD i have decided to use love hearts sweets for the whole picture, i think this will enhance the title of Youve Got The Love; as the love hearts sweets have all diffrent sayings on.
Here are pictures of smarties. All images below are found from google images.
The above picture is what i would like to do for the front cover. I also like the next picture too. I will experiment and then do a tally chart and ask about 30 people which one they prefer.
These pictures of butterflys are ideas for the inner left panel.

Animatic
This is our animatic video that we shot, processed and edited on the apple mac then added the song. I think we did well in shooting this, as we did it pretty fast but then we had some troubles editing it using the mac as none of us had much experience in using it beforehand. It also took us a while to add the song to final cut pro as there where some technical difficulties. Overall i think we tackled the problems and did it as well as we could. The only thing we could of done was, at the end after we finished editing we should of gone over each shot carefully to make sure the music or bass came in at exactly the right point as the picture changed, but apart from this i think we did well.
