So we were given our own brief to create during this Pandemic, we could pick any kind of brief we wanted, I decided to make up a band and create a cover for their first album and for a concert they are playing in the LemonTree in Aberdeen.
The restrictions are no images at all, just complete design. Also the target market are people between 18 - 55 and also people who are Vinyl enthusiasts as the band (Maid of Mars) want to reach out to vinyl users.
Luckily my dad is in to vinyl and he has a massive collection of records which I was able to to use for research, I got to see a lot of covers and the records themselves which inspired me a lot to imagine what styles I wanted to try.
During this pandemic I have became really fond of creating Vector art, I have became quite good at it I feel like. I was thinking I could try use some of this style to help with the design of the album cover.
I gave the details that the band want their cover to be bright with a hint of darkness, since the album is called Clouds and juices, I thought id take that very serious and create a cloud raining juice.
I thought I would also use my vector art for the background just to make the back cover a bit more appealing just like the front.
Once I got the front cover sorted I then moved forward to the rest of the deliverables, which was pretty straight forward after doing the key feature, basing most of the other featurs off of the album cover.
