For this album cover I have taken inspiration from the physocological technique 'Rorschach', the method of this is where, you place an image in front of someone, and the image looks jumbled, and you have try and tell what you can see within the image, for instance on my front cover, you can see a man looking sidewards. Rorschach is known for playing with your mind when looking at an image, which is what I liked about the image, because it could imply that The Mirrors Image, mess with your mind, or there debut album does.
After I completed the album mock up I decided that I wasn't a fan of the font that I used, I believe it looks slightly childish, as if it had been drawn by a small child, and s if it doesn't fit in with the mood of the album. This is somehting that I would like to change, when it comes to making my final piece.
Finally I quite the contrast that has happened between the back and the white, and this is a colour scheme that I believe could work when I come to do my final, because unlike the font, it fits the tone of the album, and also helps to make the album look unpredictable, because from looking at the cover, you don't know what to expect you'll be listening to.
Good post Hallam. Now get thinking about the poster (could simply be the same as the cover) as well as the other panels of the digipak. Have a look at what Tibbles has done, he's already mocked up the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you say you weren't allowing the class to create album cover, as well as the band poster?
