Printed Artefacts - Existing Album Cover

We are required to produce an album cover to go alongside our music video as part of our coursework. We will design the entire inner sleve of the cover, including the front cover and track listings on the back. In order to make it look as professional as possible, we will ensure that we follow the codes and conventions of a real album cover. This will include making sure that the font is of a particular colour against the background so that it can be easily read.
Our main idea at the moment, is to have a close up photo of the main character quite central on the cover, with the name of the band at the top.
This is a photo of the original album cover:

This image gives the impression of calmness due to the light blue colour. This suggests to the audience that the songs featured on the album will be somewhat mellow. The album cover compliments the sounds of the songs because the same mellow/indie theme will be featured in both the songs and the artwork.

The record company that Bombay Bicycle Club are signed to is 'Island Records'. To ensure that our album cover looks prefessional and legitimate, we will encorporate the picture of this logo onto our album cover, preferably on the back cover.


This is the Island Records logo, which the band Bombay Bicycle Club are signed to, therefore it is important that we feature this logo on our album cover so that it looks more realistic.
