Album cover ideas

 
This is another idea for our album cover. We looked at other existing album covers and thought about the place they positioned the text. We decided as a group that it looks better to position the artist name and album title in the left hand top corner of the picture. We think this makes it stand out more against the light blue sky but it still looks subtle and doesn't take any of the attention away from the beach picture. On this idea we decided to have the lettering all capital letters as this makes it a lot more easier to read and stand out well. In our research we also found that this was common in other indie pop album art such as Mumford & Sons Babel and Sigh No More. We put dashes either side of the artists name and we think it helps make the name a main focus and draws attention to it. We make the album name close to the artists name as it ties them together well and makes the whole text look almost like a logo. It also looks alot more professional.

 
 
This one is a lot like the first as we have decided we are wanting to have the text positioned the way it is in hese examples. We tried using capital lettering again for this one and made sure the artist name was bigger than the album art as we think that should be the main thing on the front cover. We also experimented by underlining the artsit name to again make it a main focus if someone was to look at the album.
