In this post, I will post and present all the sketches of my ideas of album/vinyl cover. I will go in depth and explain the details like what inspired me, the colour that I will be using, the title, type of effect that I am going to use in my design.
Design 1
The first design ideas that I came up with is heavily inspired by the Bohemian Rhapsody cover from Queen band. Even though it is inspired by the Bohemian Rhapsody cover, I am not going to exactly copy the design, I am intended to add some others elements of my own touch. In this design, I will add a pop art style by adding Japanese pop art colour. Based on my research on other post, I will be using #4B7340 (Green) and #D9C147 (Yellow) colour palette. This colour palette can evoke the Japanese style on my design. The planning of this colour are, the background will be green and the subject will be yellow colour accent. To elevate more pop art elements into my design, I will insert effects like halftone, overlay, noise or grain. The position of the band name which is "Amalgamation" will be at the bottom and the title which is will be in Japanese will be on top. The meaning of the the Japanese word which is "現実化" means "Realization". The Amalgamation will be my own logo that I will trace it in Adobe Illustrator.
Design 2
Second design is more into side by side design. Although in the photograph, Ange and I will not be in the same photo, I am planning to add split tear effect in the middle to evoke a bit of collage design into my design. The colour palette that I am going with here is Japanese indigo which is #7A4948 (Red) and #FCC846 (Yellow). The colour will be split into left and right. In this design too, I will add halftone to make it pop art, and effects like overlay and noise or grain. The band and title will be on the bottom and the title of the album is in Japanese, "個性" which mean "Individuality".
Design 3
Third design is a strip design style. This design is a 4 equally divided horizontally lines, where, the first and third lines are the picture of my band, Ange and myself Syafiq. In second and fourth space, this is where I use the space as the title and the band of my band. This is composition of my third album. For the elements, I have planned to use specific colour for each space, where the first space is #516FB9, second is #DD7467, third is #F6B23F and the last on is #967DA9. As for the picture of the band members, I want to just capture the eyes part of the members and I want to make it pop by leave it black with background colour accent. For the title of this album is 贅沢な which mean luxurious. In this design too, I will be applying a texture overlay just to elevate the album accent on my album.
Design 4
For this design, I am heavily inspired by Jerry W. McDaniel art piece of One Nation Indivisible. Although, his design is a bit too ethical since it is a very tragic event that shocked the world. To make it less ethical, I want to make the same concept, so I am thinking of well known logo to the world and I am thinking of NASA. From that, I have ideas of making things from rocket and to make it collage, I am thinking of using band members head as a torn paper and paste it on the rocket. That how I came up with the ideas. For the elements, I am going to set the band name on the left corner like, and the title is 月へ飛ぶ which means "Fly to the moon". The colour accent that I am going with is #99E8FF for the sky accent and #AD6736 for the ground. Lastly, I will also use overlay texture to make the design more natural.
Design 5
Fifth design, I am going with band title of the left bar. Then, the picture is the members of the band outdoor. This picture I am planning to take it outdoor where there is a lot of trees and nature. For the left bar, the title that I am going is 良い面を見る which means "Look at the bright side". The colour that I am going to use for the bar is #1F9967 which is Japanese evergreen tree colour. For the main picture I am going to put the band name on top and the colour accent that I am intend to use is #C91F37 which is Japanese foreign crimson. This album also, I will be applying overlay texture.
Design 6
Last design, the composition and design here is heavily inspired by Peter Blake pop art piece of art. This design is a design of 4 grid, where I am going to make a collage head of the members band, on the top and bottom left. In in top left and bottom right is where I am going to use text for the band name. Ange head and my head is going to be black that blend with the colour accent which on the top right is going to be #FF9922 and bottom left is #330033. For the band name, it is going to be a text top left means Sha (シャ) , the background colour is #008844 and on the bottom right means nji (ンジ), the colour background is #CC0000. For this one also, I am going to apply texture overlay.
