10 Chosen Images for Album Art

Here are the images I have chosen for the artwork for the album digi-pack. They have been altered through iPhoto.


This was taken very recently. I blurred out the eyes with the intention of indirectly saying that it's not an album of pictures, but of voices, music and sound. The sepia effect, as is the same with most of the other pictures, is intended to express a sort of antique-y feel, as Gabrielle Aplin's single artwork for 'Home' has the same look; a countryside background.



This is also a new image taken recently. It's an image of me looking at the guitar in the tree (I don't know why. Viva la obscurity!!), with the intention to fill in the space left by Ryan's (the singer) departure from the project. The vignette effect is just to say that this is the image that will be the artwork for the disc-holder.


This image was chosen because, after I thought of the subtitle of 'The Project' being 'Days Out,' the photo of the coastal park was a very useful image because it was synonymous with the title. This will most likely be intended to be the back cover, where the track list will be placed over the sky to the right of the ferris wheel.


I chose this image because the words are fully conventional to the music industry. And the sepia effect gives an indie feel to it, as well as an antique look.


Again, 'Days Out' and this image connect well. Also, as I said in the previous post, the rusting of the sign  could imply idiosyncrasy, as people aren't following the directions; instead going their own ways and doing what they want. Going your own way, or 'choosing your own path' is frequently considered as a factor of life. 


This is a person finding their own way in the world after a long time of following others. They don't know what to expect, but they'll never find out until they go through the 'door' and see. This image could be symbolic of a few meanings, which is why I'm possibly choosing it as the artwork for a square.


As I said previously, this is a still of the roundabout that Nicole jumps off of in the 'Human' video. However, it is the 'Days Out' connection along with this that drives me to use this image for a square of artwork.


Connected to a song I'm thinking of calling 'Fog Lamp,' this image would fit well with it. But it's also the artistic style of it that creates an atmospheric image that makes me consider this for part of the artwork.


As mentioned previously, the castle overlooking the modern housing was a very useful image because of how out of place it seemed. But, like other images, it connects to the 'Days Out' title and the antique-y look fits well with how old the castle is. This image is also considered to be the back cover art because the track list would look well and fitting in the sky. 


This is an image I'm considering for the front cover because of how perfectly well Josh is framed, as well as the intended focus on the eccentricity of the photo: no eyes, for the same reason as mentioned in the top image. Also, the flagging and facial expressions looked rebellious, and the field background  looked nice and rustic. Apart from the goalpost...


Jack is very most likely going to be used for the artwork because he's part of the band, and also because the tree appears in every shot of the band members. I blurred out his eyes again, like I did with the other photos of the members, and the countryside look was very useful as well as the 'Days Out' connection. 

These images will be narrowed down to six for the digi-pack artwork, so I will present the 6 chosen images on a design template for the album art.
