Album Cover

During the week 3 production meeting we discussed potential album cover designs - coming up with a few sketches and visuals inspired from previously found images, here are some sketches:

Initial rough sketch by Josh of the front and back of the album cover

We really liked Josh' ideas so thought of developing it using different shapes on the front cover. I drew it up and this was the outcome. 

From this we came up with some concepts based on the original idea

In my opinion, although the circle design looks more interesting, I'm more drawn to the square design - especially because you get a clearer image of the artists which is essential for their debut album.

Our intentions for the front and back cover is to use a parormatic photo of a forest which spans the length of the front and back cover

Initial rough  idea of panoramic style album cover

At the very beginning of the project, Louis experimented on the computer and made a digital collage; it turned out looking really interesting:

With the idea of creating a distinct relationship between the front and back cover would be quite hard to do with such unique imagery.
