We had to create a album cover so to start we was randomly chosen a band name, album name and a background picture. The band name I was given was 'Harcourt Arboretum', the album name 'Criminal Rather Than Victim' and the background picture is the picture seen above.
I thought that both the album name and the background picture related with the soul, hip-hop genre of music. So I decided to look at some of the albums for these sort of artists. The first one which I viewed was 'Trilogy' by 'The Weeknd', pictured below.
As you can see from this album cover it is quite similar to mine as they're both black and white and also very simple. I really like this design as it is very simple and easy on the eye, also the type of music this artist produces is very similar to the music you would expect my made up band to make when judging them on their album name and their album cover.
I then went a view other album covers like Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange' this album cover is also very simple and use minimum colours. This artist also produce the same genre of music so this made me created my design to be simple and also minimise the colours which I use as it seemed like that what this genre of musics album designs are like.
