This is the cover for 'Dusk and Summer,' by artist 'Dashboard Confessional' who my artist for AS was based on. The focus of the cover is on the lead singer of the band and the most profilic member of the band, Chris Carrabba. The Title is in the corner in a small basic font.
The colours on the cover are very prolific for the genre. The mood of the band/album is very mellow and the theme of the album is around summer so the colour pallet used for the cover is dominantly oranges and yellow.
From this cover I can see that the main focus should be on the artist and also the mood of the song/album has to be present on the front cover too.
This cover is for another influence of my featured artist Mr Hudson, the original recording artist, along with Kanye West for the song I am using in my music video, Supernova. This is the cover for his latest album and different style form his previous album, being more electronic and hip-hop influenced.
There is no scenery around Mr Hudson on this cover and the focus is dominantly on him. The picture itself is heavily edited with different colours of Mr Hudson behind him, in a shadow type of form. This is symbolising the different musical sides to Mr Hudson.
This heavily edited focus on the artist is something I wish to use in my work too. I think it will be good to show the more emotional side/different elements to the album/artist.
