Factors to remember when creating an intriguing album cover -

  • The way the artist or band is positioned - are they even in the shot? Are they the main centre of attention? what is the first thing you notice when looking at the album?
  • The text and logo you choose - interesting? catches the eye? noticable? relatable to the msuic of the album? FONT - weird,bold look, serif and unserif. Masculine or feminine
  • Creative picture - cartoon like or creative e.g. ladyhawk
  • The literal meaning of the album cover if there is one?
  • colour schemes
  • costumes
  • lighting
  • background
  • mainstream album? does the ablum cover reperesnt the artist? is that what you want to show
