Album Art

In today's lesson, my sole focus is our Album Art. We have decided to try and be as creative as possible, by initiating similar photos that have been reflected in our music video. For example, we have found a photo of lots of pairs of lips, coloured brightly in red lip paint and each holding a different pose. We know we are going to be using close ups of lips, with bright lip paints so we thought we would add that to our album cover. (This photo was found on a tumblr site, credit goes to the owner.) We also plan to crop this photo, and only use two or three of the pairs of lips.

 A photo of our four member band would also be useful, which will give the audience a personal connection with who they're listening to. We have decided to do a 'photo shoot' with the band, using my Nikon SLR camera, getting both natural camera shots and posed photos for our album cover. We have also decided that inside our album case, our booklet will have the lyrics of the song, and fact files on each member of the band. We have chosen to do this because it shows direct address with the audience, and they can decide who they connect most with and can each have a favourite member.
