This album cover for Walk the Moon is an abstract illustration, it
is common for a band to feature on the front of an album cover whether it be
illustrated or photographed, and this cover breaks this convention. I have
chosen to look at this album cover as it has been made for an indie rock/pop
band, which is the same genre as our song choice. The abstract style is a clear
convention in this genre of music.
As our singer is a new artist and needs to be recognised for his
new music career I will make the album cover with him as a feature on the front
of it but I will take into account this abstract style.
The colours are very vibrant and the band name takes up a large
space at the top, this is most likely for selling purposes as this will help
people to find this on shop shelves. The cover looks very fun, this introduces
the bands album as happy and enjoyable, I think the style and colour reflects
the type of music on the CD.
This has influenced my ideas for my own album cover, I want to create a very abstract styled cover
but I also need to promote the name and appearance of the new artist. I will
use an illustration style on the cover making it look cartoon and will use a
large font on the front to promote his name. I am planning on using whites;
browns yellows and oranges to create the cover as I think these colours will
reflect the style of the video and will create an image for the new artist.
