Album covers ! 1 album cover and two singles.

Researching metal band albums covers, as well as overall vibes of my band.

Did initial photography with the idea of 'the morning after'

My personal favourite ideas.

Wanted to explore Mark making as a way of incorporating a 3D element.

With some feedback, I was introduced to the idea of collage and assemblage art. With the concepts of vastly different vibes and directions to go. 

I have saved a collection of images I'll print out and use to collage on top of the photography I've already taken. 

Marking making experiments 

I only completed these two collages as after our talk with Dwyane I wanted to create some more tangible, but still wanted to include and either these, so here are some variations.

Then I experimented with titles and different vibes to get a clearer idea of a direction to take

My first obvious thought was to create an eye as reference to the bands logo, so I looked at a more grey style to take the aesthetic in.

With zoe really liking the collages I decided to just use both those and the sculptures, so I took photos and edited them for the album.

My first idea for the back covers was to put the eye in places with alcohol and cigarettes, then have a 3d clay made version of my logo. 
However the photos I took and edited of this (without the logo) looked boring so i disgarded it. 

Then after a feedback session with zoe I got the idea to create a receipt put in the same environment as before. 

kept the theme of collage for the two singles and had these results.

I made a pair of lungs for one and a heart for the other. I put eyes all over both to tie in the logo. And decided to put the logo on the back for these two covers also. 

For the heart single I wanted to take a close up of the heart I create and construct my logo out of the eyes on top. 

For the lung single I wanted to keep the desaturated theme as well as the bone imagery. I wanted to have my logo covered in a way that resembled a rib cage. So I created a collage and used string also.

For the titles I couldn't find any typefaces I thought would fit the vibe, so I decided to hand write the names in the same font I did for my logo.

I edited the covers of both singles too with different filters and adjustments. 

After feedback I decided that the back covers for the singles should be the front, as well as fixing type issues with them too. I also brightened up the album.
