Ancillary research

Front cover:
As my video is a soft acoustic based song, I wished for the album art to be a little more abstract, following in the footsteps of the following:
The one to the left inspired the idea for mine to be high in contrast in terms of the colour. The clash of the blue with the red provides a feast for the eyes. And the one to the right I focused on the background instead of the foreground, the zoom effect adds a great feel to it, allowing the atmosphere to be be created, yet keeping it from focus. I was inspired to believe that if I could combine both aspects of the albums into one cover art of my own, then I'd be able to not only capture the attention of people, but too allow them to decifer what exactly the image was and what meanings it conveys, I hoped for each individual to find that they could reflect on it.

The back cover & Poster:
The back cover and the poster both followed deep inspiration from the 2 front covers shown above. Though with the poster I decided to forego the zoom effect and maintain the image's sharpness. The back cover however I wanted to level down in terms of it being to busy due to the fact that text would be added, therefore, I made it more minimal in it's appearance.
