Album Art

For our music video package we are not only having to create the physical product (a music video) but also a sellable artist, "Their" song and their star image. This means creating more than just the visually active product but a wider spectrum for sellable promotion. One of the products that is included in our overall task is to develop some album art for the artist & band, in order to sell not just this particular song but an album of songs. The album is an initial creation of the message & style that we wish our artist to create for their targeted audience. I wanted to research into a variety of album covers (though we will be making the whole package) in order to get a wider idea and understanding of what kinds of styles are use by both - modern day successful artists and artists who were perhaps at their peak in past era's - partly to compare the ideas & eyeful success as a customer of the products, but also because we wanted to incorporate elements of the past into our actual video I felt that this transition was key if we wanted to parody more archaic styles of album in order to push a retro feel to our band. I researched many albums, and tried to collect a variety of interesting ones that come from contrasting genres of music.
