Album Cover

We have to decide on album cover for our song. First of all, we have to decide on a theme. I researched some singer/songwriters to find out the general themes they use, there are some examples below:

The fact that the guitar and James blunt are both in the centre shot implies that it is his own music- song writer and singer. The photos on the left on the wall make it more interesting as they underline the fact that the music is for everyone and has no age or gender barriers- photos include pictures of young boys and girls to the elderly etc. This emphasizes that his music is suitable for everyone.

The casual clothes and guitar underlines the genre of the music, acoustic.

I think that this style of album cover is too bright and colourful in relation to the theme of our song. 

I like the colour scheme of this album, the calm blue water against the clear sky makes it look peaceful and calm - representing the style of music which is suitable for when trying to relax.

Using photos in a dark setting with some lighting techniques in our artwork would make the cover more professional and give it a slicker look just like the one above, this is one of the ideas that we have either for the front or back of the album.
