Album art

 I have done some background research into album covers, i decided to look up different albums to give me ideas in which type of album to create, as i have now decided that the theme of my song is 'time' i will be using alot of imagery that will symbolise time and movement of time. I have taken this albujm cover by James blunt because he uses smaller images to create a bigger image of himself, this is something which i would like to create, my initial idea was to take pictures of various different clocks then put them together to create a collage. In this album i like the idea of the artists face being merged from the pictures, this also uses Goodwin's theory of 'star in text' which is a good idea to use for advertisment if the artist is already well known.

This is another album cover which I think is appealing, i like the idea of the collage once again. They have made a picture from using parts of their face and and animal. Using an animal divides up the picture but also contributes to the theme of the album, the album is called 'Only by the night' and they have used an Owl to highlight the theme of the album as the animal is also linked with darkness and night. I also like the idea of having the artists faces and the animal merged as it includes both the theme of the album and the artists.

This is taken from the kings of leon album also, i like the idea of having a creative artistic way of illustrating the songs instead of just simply numbering them in a usual way.

I like the idea of this album cover the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has used, they have used an object which looks like scales, i  like this idea and i could use it in my own as i will also be using a clock which would replace the idea of the scales. I also like the idea of having a mouth, they may have used this to illustrate the idea of music which is coming from their mouth and their voices.
