Album cover ideas

.

This is an album cover we found that is similar to our genre. Bon Jovi is a rock genre and we have studied this carefully to try and get an idea of what we should base our album cover on. The imediate thing you notice is that the album cover is advertising the band, something we came to expect with our genre, but the main thing we can take away from the album cover is the simplicity of the image. This is something we have tried to keep constant throughout our project. For example our music video was planned from the beggining to be as simple as possible, only using effects/transitions when they are needed. The editing as well was going to be very simple and always matching the pace of the music.

Our album cover and magazine ideas have also followed this trend of simplicity, never putting too much on an image. The products will always be selling the band, this is very important. Below is an album cover from Nirvana. This is not selling the band yet is one of the most famous images, this is because Nirvana sold themselves very well in their earlier careers so they were well known. Therefore, we will be selling the band with everything we do and in theory, we would later be able to create fantastic album art similar of Nirvana.
