Album Covers

When looking into ideas for our album cover and advert we needed to think about how we would make it look so there was some form of connection between the artist album and the game track album. After much thought I decided that it would be easier to make two different album covers, one for the game and one for the band, and a single advert that will be based on the game. My group has come up with a number of different ideas for our album covers. We asked a number of people in our boarding house what they would expect to see on a dubstep album cover and the image that was most mentioned was the simple idea of a close up shot of a sub woofer with the name of the artist and album on it. So we have decided to use a subwoofer in some way in our video. For example replacing the head of a person in a shot. For the game track album we would want to use the character for the game and play around with Photoshop to get an image that would suit the game genre. An idea which I came up with was to have two shots of the character standing in a particular position but warring completely different clothing. Then merge the images together so the final outcome looks as if the character is warring one outfit on one half of his body and another outfit on the other side of his body. This creates a sense of range in the personalities within the character. An example of a simple album cover which we found online shows the use of just a simple sub woofer and the text.
