Our Album Cover

Initailly we have decided that we will create a band and try to appeal to a wider audience. Now i am going to design an album cover with the information that has been gathered about the target audience.

Firstly we brainstormed and came to the conclution that we would have the band on the first album, due to our results from the questionaire. However we would have the band in silhouette, which we feel would not only make the cover look more professional, but also meet our main idea for the album cover and appeal to the audience because the band will be on it.

This is the layout for our album cover, this basic sketch shows where each figure will be.

This second image shows what the figures will look like, these are basic silhouettes of the band.

This design shows a more detailed silhouette of the band. However, if we go back to our main idea, it was that the band will not be too formal and will be a take off from the current band The Hoosiers, this design is too formal to attract a younger audience.

This is more of the effect that we are looking for, a more casual dress and the audience are able to realte to the image, seeing that the silhouettes are of the band. this design will be taken into the final planning stages below and developed into a professional album cover.

Above is our final cover idea, we went for a cartoony effect that i think works well with the black and white colours all around the album. I think we have reached our target market by keeping our album to the point; which is standing out from all other albums and keeping our costumes casual.
