Album Cover Inspiration

For our cover we decided it should follow the gritty theme’s of the main product, so firstly we decided to have it influenced by album covers of a similar genre (British rock).  We looked at CD covers such as The Enemy album ' Had Enough' and the Oasis’ 'Hindu Times'. 

Along with the other researched album covers,we picked features from each which would help match the persona Nicole plays in our video. The album cover for '(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?' played an interesting part in the development in the design of our front cover. We felt the mise-en-scene of the image was similar to the style we wanted for our case design, as the characters in the image are dominated by their surroundings we thought this should be a main aspect of our cover.

Using '(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?' along with The Fray’s self-titled album will be our main inspiration for the album cover. The lighting within The Fray’s album cover along with the blur helps create a sense of being alone. Along with other features from the album covers above, we feel the CD front cover will be simplistic, effective and similar to album covers of the similar genre.
