This is three of the albem covers which we liked best from the ones we have looked at. we liked the dated look for pinks and good charlottes albem covers. we liked the photography for paramores's albem cover and its clever how there is a shower of some one who isnt there on the sofa. On good charlottes i really like the use of the two very different fonts that work well together. we want our albem cover to reprent the song and make people think.

First Research

Me and Heather have chosen to look at doing the music video option.  we have started by looking at different bands and there album covers as that is one of the subiuary tasks we looked at the artist Pink, her album covers mostly have a photo of her pulling a snarly face the colours she uses are most black, red wish splashes of other colours like pink. we looked at Avril Lavigae she was similar but was a bit more punk like. we also looked at Nickelback and Blink-182 which both didn't have good album covers as they were simple but it made us think of the idea of having a logo for our band. we really liked Paramore's album covers. they have some really nice photography for there album covers. we also liked some of Good Charlottes album covers. we noticed a lot if the album covers were set in an era like the 50's. we also looked at katie Perry who had an album cover set in the 50's/60's which we liked the idea of.
