All of these cover arts are for artists' CDs that are of a similar genre to my artist, Daniel Cope. I have selected a range of covers that give me examples of different ways of representing the artist. For example, Ed Sheeran's cover art is his face drawn on an orange background, this shows the audience that he is a solo singer just by looking at the cover and that he comes across as artistic. Whereas Gary Jules album cover is done using graphic design, creating a metaphorical representation instead of using himself. This is why I have to find many examples to discover basis for my own CD cover and digipak.
A good start to planning your print productions, try to scan on some of your strong graphics.
ReplyDeleteSome great ideas from real cover art James to inspire some interesting shots of your artist. Remember impact, creativity are vital, also don't forget importance of closeups and low angle shots. At present your ideas lack impact. You need to post the graphics you have been drawing onto your blog.
