Album Cover Flatplan

We drew up some flatplans for our album artwork, including the front cover, the back cover, and the inside covers. We also added colours to them based on the colour scheme that we had agreed on during one of our group meetings. We would like to use pinks, purples and blues as they are very complimentary of each other; however, we don't want it to look too feminine as we have two male DJs which is why we want blue to be one of our key colours. 

We have two different ideas for our front cover and we really like both of them. The common factors between the two of them are:

• the positioning of the artist's name - in the centre of the front image
• having our artist, the female vocalist and both DJs in a photo together on the front in the centre

Our differences so far are:

• the font and the size of the font, we have the option of tall and thin font with capital letters, or lower case, small font. - we will most likely make this decision when we make our final decision on the name of our artists as an artists with a shorter name will look better with the font in the first option, and a longer artist name will suit the second option more

On the back cover we want a picture of the artist with some friends, after the powder paint fight scene in the forest. The colour scheme will be less obvious in this shot as we won't have the background as colours; instead, the background will be the forest. We hope to have some pink, blue, and purple powder paint on the floor and on the backs of the people so we can still see these colours appearing, to keep in scheme with the front and inside covers.

On our inside cover we want a profile portrait of Georgie blowing some powder paint in front of her, so it will be blown across the right inside cover. Perhaps something similar to these photos: 

We took lots of inspiration from MGMT's cover for their album Oracular Spectacular. We took inspiration from them as they are an artist who have quite dance-like music with two males; however, they are also quite unique in their styling.

Whilst looking at some pictures of Ellie Goulding online we came across the album art for her album Halcyon Days. She also uses this pink and purple gradient on her art and we think that it works really well. Ellie Goulding is an artist that we have looked at for inspiration in many different aspects when creating our artist, especially for our main singer Georgie.

I really like these to photos as album covers however I think it may not work for our own album cover as it is very feminine; the use of mainly pinks and purples is perhaps too strong for the look that we want to go for.
