Ideas for Album Cover

Possible Images for Album Cover/ Advert

These are images from the final scene of the music video, the black and white effect on the images represents the idea of good vs evil within the characters life; with the majority being in black reflecting the idea of him being the antagonist. Whilst for the back of the album cover an image of the alleyway empty would be used to keep with the theme of the image. If I use one of these images as the main feature of the album cover it may also be the main image for the magazine advert or as a secondary image.

Magazine Advert Ideas

Magazine adverts often use a similar theme to the album covers, with many using similar images or the same image for both magazine and advert. The theme often runs into the artwork shown in the advertising in magazines and other media. This means that I would feature the album cover on the magazine advert, as either the main image or as a secondary image. This has been done in similar adverts like “Plan B’s”, “The Foals” and “Gorilaz” adverts, where the album cover has been used as an advert for the album.

For the magazine advert my idea is to use the image from the album cover as either the main image or as a picture on it, which is important because it shows how the theme is consistent and that the audience will know that it is for this product. However, if an image from the video is used on the album cover for the band, an image from the same scene of the music video could be used, which would show a consistent theme on both the album cover, and magazine advert.

There is normally simplistic text used on the adverts, which often provide secondary information to the audience about the band, with this text normally being about tour dates or the albums reviews. The font for the adverts is also normally simplistic, with bold white font being mainly used in adverts I have researched. The font I will use will be used on both the album cover and the magazine advert to show the theme is running between the two visual products. It is important for this text to be simplistic like on the previous covers and adverts for the band.
