Album Ideas

Here are a few examples of possible ambum ideas. Taken from established bands, they give an insight into different but easy styles that are effective and easy mimic.


This is 'Dizzee Rascals' album cover for 'Boy In Da Corner'. It isn't perticularly difficult to create as it is merely a pholotgraph with an edited background. It is effective in its simplicity and the bold black writing stands out in contrast to the yellow. The picture also fits the genre of the music, grime.















Although this artwork isn't from 'the maccabees' album cover, it is a cover they relased for the single 'first love' which i really like. The whole thing has been done on the computer and is drawn on (as if a child has done it). Contrasting to many album covers with photographs, this cover is effective because it is original and the drawn picture is vibrant and stands out.














This is 'The Stokes' newest album cover from 'First Impressions Of Earth'. The simplicity of the cover makes it a really effective one. Not much has actually been done to the black background other than a few inserted pictures but yet it still works. The albums name is written on all 4 corners of the cover.












The Rakes album cover is good because it is prodominantly composed of a single photograph taken of city landscape. Unlike Dizzee Rascals album where a man has been cut around to fit a created background, the rakes album just puts a picture in the middle of the cover but it still works well.















The Braverys album as you can see is more complicated than any of the other because a mythical beast has been drawn which would be very hard to do, especially in such detail. However, the other picture is a simplified version of the braverys cover and i think this works just as well. Although there isn't as much intregue and detial, the bold black and blue colours contrast and make the album stand out.
