Plan for Album

Cover!

Analysis of Other Album Covers!For my research I looked at a few different album covers for indie/rock bands, including The Foo Fighters albums, ‘Wasting Light’ and ‘One by One’ and The Killers ‘Battle Born’. I looked at the layout, the image, the colour scheme and the back of the album. I looked at Foo Fighters album ‘Wasting Light’, the colour scheme of the font and the background matched the conventional colour scheme of indie/rock bands. The image usually relates to the album name or just features the band members. The name of the band is conventionally on the front of the album so fans of the band can recognise the bands album. I looked at the layout to see if it followed the line of sight, most of the albums I looked at followed this line of sight which makes it stand out from other albums.

I think this is good to use this layout as it is spaced out and all the words aren’t cluttered together.

I thought this was good but the words are all too cluttered together therefore it doesn’t look professional.

I thought this one was too cluttered therefore I am not using it.

All the text is on the left and this doesn’t look very professional.

This is the conventional back of an album therefore I am going to use it.

This looks too cluttered at the bottom and not very professional. Not using.

This has a lack of an image therefore looks too boring. Not using.

This looks too complicated and too spread out. Not using.

Album and Band Name!• The Album name usually has something to do with

the band, either to do with their own life. I therefore took into account this convention and thought of an album name which had something to do with the band’s life. I decided on ‘evolution’, because the band had to evolve in the music world to be successful.

• The Band name I thought had to start with ‘The’ or have ‘The’ in the name, because a lot of successful bands have ‘The’ in them, e.g. ‘The Killers’, ‘The Kooks’ and ‘Florence and the Machine’. I thought of the following band names:

• The Presidents• Calvin and the Presidents• Michael Jackson Memorial Band (MJMB)• The Komodo Dragons

All four bands members in the process of evolution, but instead of them being the evolution of humans it relates to the evolution of music and how the band has adapted to the change. The background will be white.

This is where the song list will be!

The image on the back cover will be the same as the one on the front but from the other side.
