Looking at album artwork that is already out there helps to create idea's of my own and allow me to see what is typical of indie-pop artwork, to try and relate this back to my own work and create a realistic looking artwork piece that people will be able to look at and now why and how it relates to my album name or artist name.
1. MONEY - The Shadow of Heaven
Released: August 26th, 2013
- This album art work is very plain, however effective. It is in black and white which gives it a vintage feel which seems to be very popular within the indie genre. The image is of a male character jumping in the air with arms spread wide, showing he is free and feeling infinite.
2. Los Campesinos! - No Blues
Released: October 29th, 2013
- This album artwork with the smoke seems to be conventional at the moment, it seems that smoke seems to be appearing in a lot of music videos recently and it is appearing more and more. This is next to impossible for a media student to create unless I were to find a smoke video on the internet and manipulate them together and colour them over a picture that corresponds to my music video.
3. Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse
Released: March 5th, 2013
- This type of album artwork is common, but normally difficult to do. It is easier when you are working with an entire album as you have more lyrics to play with so you can create a piece which resembles the entire songs, not just one single song. This type of album artwork I could love to try, but it would take a lot of planning and figuring out what to try.
4. Tegan and Sara - Heartthrob
Released: January 29th, 2013
- This album artwork would be great for my single artwork. At the end I am planning on having a montage of photos of the artist with the love of the music video. I could then use these photos and create a collage of photos of them both together being loved up showing the lover between them and having it look like a montage of them together like this one shown.
5. Everything Everything - Arc
Released: January 14th, 2013
- Again like the one above, I could take this idea and create a montage of images of my artist and lover.
6. Daughter - If You Leave
Released: March 18th, 2013
- This album artwork is very simple to do. It seems like a photo has been shot from the music video, and has an artistic spin on it; the artist is shown in the back of the picture and there seems to be a shadow/veil over the image which looks like the sun is shining, but almost looks like hair in places. This artwork confuses me, but looks good..
7. Foxygen - We Are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace & Magic
Released: January 22nd, 2013
- This album artwork is very simple, I do not understand what the image is trying to make the audience understand, and it may be a case of the only people that would truly understand this artwork would be the listeners of the band. I on the other hand would like to have any audience which see's my art work be able to understand and relate to it.
8. Big Deal - June Gloom
Released: June 3rd, 2013
- This album artwork is again something that has no significance to the songs, the only thing I can try to understand would be the pinks and oranges in the sky which could resemble June's sunsets. Other than that it may be only the listeners that will understand.
- This album artwork is very creative, the flowers on the picture are looking almost as if they are the actors beard. The background behind the talent is almost as if its liquid and moving.
- This album artwork is quite plain, it does not seem to match the album title, but without listening to the album i cannot make this judgement.
- This album artwork in my eyes is quite clever, the title is 'Desire Lines' and the tree's are all roughly straight lines. So through the play on the words, this album artwork is simple but effect for what the artist would want out of it.
- This album art work looks quite plain at first, but as you look deeper into it, it is made up of many levels of photographs and aspects working together to make quite a beautiful image.
- This album art work is very simple, and i do not believe that it links to the album in any way, so I will not be considering this idea.
- This album artwork is very very simple. But the 'Pure' could be reffering to the fact that the album artwork is very simple.
- This album artwork is very simple, maybe I would have to listen to the album to attempt to understand the image, but just by looking at it, it has the artists name, the album name and also an image that possibly relates.
- This album artwork is very simple, it seems to have no relevance to the album name at all. For an album to be effective in my eyes it must have some relevance to the album name or even the artists name.
- This album artwork is quite artsy. The colours are not relatable to the real world, so there can be no connection between real world and this artwork apart from the motorcycle.
- This album artwork is just a photo taken of the band, with their album name and group name. this artwork is effective, as when an audience buys the album they know who the music is created by, and has the relevant details needed for it to be known as soon as someone sets eyes upon it.
- This album artwork is relevant to the album name, as the image is of a rooftop, looking upwards towards the skies as if looking to the after world were people normally relate heaven to be.
- This album artwork is quite simple, But seems to have no relevance to the album name or artists name, which is something I am currently trying to avoid.
