Album inspiration

When I first began researching album covers, this one really stood out to me due to its positioning and the colours used. The central position of Bowie in the forefront of the cover isolates him and makes him appear lonely. This is a look I wish to achieve in my album cover as it follows the narrative of our video. In this cover, I also really like the use of colour.  As much of our music video follows the idea of my character working out her sexuality, I like the idea of using colour on my album cover to signify this.

 Similarly to the first cover, I really like the positioning and use of colour in this cover. The positioning of the character isolates her against the plain background, allowing her to stand out. The presentation of her from the back creates mystery in the cover, a feature that I would like to include in my own album cover. In contrast to the first cover, I like the use of black and white here as it adds to the mystery behind the cover. As much of my music video is in black and white, this is feature that I would like to include in my album cover.

This album cover is very eyecatching due to the use of bright, bold colours. I really want to incorporate colour in my album cover as it would resemble my character finally accepting herself for who she is. Similarly to the other covers, I really like the positioning of the main feature in the frame as it once again allows them to stand out from the background that they are on.

This is my favourite album cover out of the ones featured. I really like the simplicity of the cover due to the positioning of the main feature. I wish to incorporate this same idea of isolation of the main featuire on the cover in my design as I believe the simplicity of the design would help to draw people in.






Similarly to the previous album cover, I really like the positioning of this album art. The position of the main focus in the centre of the frame but placed in the distance creates a mystery around the cover. I also really like the contrast between the colours in the sky compared to those at the bottom of the frame and I will take inspiration from this in my own album cover.
