Album Cover Assignment


From A Random Wikipedia name, random quote and Random image, This is what i came up with. Gropu River, is the name of the band. To me, it sounded like a two people group, one that sings and one that plays an acoustic guitar. Then i clicked the link to a random flickr image, and that one (referring to the Cover background) and thought it was perfect for it. Showing the feel of a simple city/urban life of musicians telling there story of a rough life. With the rough background and the accordian player in the centre. The Quote seemed to have ironicaly fitted as well "thread which is not there" interupting its meaning as something simple, but yet does a whole lot is missing ( thought apon a thread in a shirt; simple, but holds it all together) so the album would be about some struggles the artists are going through. The layout was simply chose but where the wording would fit the best, staying simple, but noticable. The font was choosen beacuse i thought that these fonts are complementary to the image. It is simple, but also so heart-felt meaning within it.

This is my second album cover. Once again i thought that everything that i was given sutied each other. The Name of the band, Dasyurmorphia, actuall meaning is a carnivorous animals, like the Tasmanian Devil. From this i thought of a band that plays Punkrock with a gothic feel to it. The colours i chose where to match the background image, since it was with a light blue tint, i choose a dark blue for font. The Placing of the font was to fit with the images focal point (the body on the floor). The font choice seemed to fit with the 'stlye' of the band, Bold and Sharp edges.
