This is to show what album covers are giving us a influence whilst

making ours.

This is a wide shot of flats. Due to the background, how high the flats are and all the lights, the area looks urban. On every album of theirs, they have a lighter (again representing their band/album) with a bold font making their name look more obvious.

Again this is the lighter that is recognisable as the group. The location is outside on the street and on a actual bus-stop. This would be free to shoot which makes it look independent. The location looks extremely urban. The rule of thirds brings more attention to the guy stood in the shot. Although made to look as if the light was naturally there ,they have obviously set it up so the photo is more well lit.

Having a bright pink light stands out and brings your attention to the album cover as the rest of the photo is plain. The lighting Is more to the left, which means the rule of 3 was applied. This means that more attention will be brought to the side rather than the middle. They have obviously done this on purpose and it has worked well. On the front cover they have duplicated a shape, however it’s not noticeable straight away. It looks as though it may be a laptop which fits with the name of the title of the album.

This photo is different to the other ones we have selected as inspiration. However we think if we choose a more urban looking area this would be a nice digipak cover. The font is simple. As there are no people in the photo it’s hard to establish the genre. However because it’s a photo of offices/nice building its obvious its not grime, rap etc as these aren't the obvious conventions.

All of the areas that these photo’s have been taken in are urban locations and they look more independent because of this. This is obvious because they look as if they are in quite busy areas and didn’t pay to take the photo there. We want to do a similar one to this, however it will be harder to at night as we don’t have the same lighting equipment, meaning it wont look as good. We are still going to use it as our influence.
