Album cover research - Vic

On the 'Sex Pistols' album cover 'kiss this,' I particularly like the writing style of the band name. It looks effective how it stands out from the photo of 'Jonny Rotton' (Lead singer). However I do not like the photo or the album name in the style that it has been displayed.

I have been inspired by the Beatles album cover: 'Abbey Road'. I like the way the photograph has been positioned and also the crossing the road on the crossing. Although if we did create an album cover like this we would have to 'grunde' it up, and obiously have the girls doing something slightly more reckless. However I believe that name of the album and the artists names should be more prominant.      

On this album cover i like the idea of having the red sofa and the trees behind it - the idea being in the wilderness and isolated. However if we were to use this sort of album cover style we would include our band members on the sofa and have the colours not as bright - dull, or possibly in black and white.

This album cover is the C.D cover from the band Hole. I believe that the black and white aspect of the album cover looks very effective, it give it a grundy edge (which we are aiming for). Also the band members have an 'I dont care attitude in the photo. A further good element of this album cover is the cross on fire in the background, this give it a reckless edge (possibly the band set the cross on fire).

                

Although the artist Kanye West does not produce the genre of music that we are creating our video for, I am still fond of his album cover. I like the idea of someone standing in front of the large wooden doors. However if we produced something similar to this then we would have all three of the band members and use grundy colours.
