This cd cover was more suitable for advertising Journey. Although this is an idea of what type of design to use rather than an actual design.
This design was more suitable beacuse it was all about our band The Martells. However there were some flaws this is why we decided to go with a different type of design, this was good because it had a type of pop art type of tone that would suit the band, as indicated by the bands we previously researched. In addition this goes with the codes and conventions that have previously been made by other bands.
We decided to do something different from previous researched bands, although still using the abstract feeling by using grafiti.
One of our group member Hannah saw a piece of graffiti in our local area and thought that it would be a possibility for album art, Laura decided to go and visit this site and take some pictures, as a group we decided that the image of a guitar and a cup of tea was a perfect image that fitted with the style of the band.
here is a piece of research that Laura found on "http://www.bbc.co.uk/suffolk/content/articles/2008/02/21/graffiti_wr_feature.shtml"
The brightly coloured mural was created by Creative Space International, who are based in Norwich, and were commissioned by Ipswich Borough Council's Environment Department.
the section highlighted is the part we decided to use.
