Album cover idea

• Our music video incorporates a number of shots where the artist is leaning against a wall singing, therefore I thought we could use such a pose on the album cover, creating coherence between the two.
• I found an image of artist Diana Vickers, who striking a similar pose to what I have in mind. Using the influence of this image, we could re-create a similar look for our own artist Jose Vanders. The relaxed pose appears endearing and not over manufactured, which would reflect the easy listening style of Jose Vanders music.
• I edited the image on photobucket, as though it was the photo we had taken of our artist and experimented with different effects and fonts. To the right is the result of this editing and a possible idea to use for our album cover...
• By layering the image I was able to make it black and white, yet the artist appear in colour. This makes them more prominent, and allows for the colour in the image to come from them and their clothing, conveying them as the brand.
• The distinct font appears quirky and easily recognisable, as well as quite playful, which would reflect he youth of our artist. The colour on black and white effect here also makes the artist name and album title more prominent.
