Planning my album cover photo

When researching album covers I have been particularly inspired by Jake Bugg's debut album cover; it is black and white and shows him from the shoulders up. He is wearing a serious facial expression which could relate to sadness or anger which are two emotions which the musician in our video feels, therefore we feel that creating a similar album cover could be very successful for out song. His facial expression is also very attractive and eye catching, it will therefore draw the audiences attention and be particularly appealing to females.


The style of Jake Buggs album seems to have been inspired by Oasis and The Beatles; it is likely that the photographer had purposefully positioned Jake Bugg to look like the band and edited the picture to look similar to theirs. Therefore it is clear that not all shots are totally original as they have been influenced by other artists or people. 

My digipak cover will feature a polariod photo of Jonny; I will  position Jonny in a similar stance to Jake as this is very appealing and eye catching. I also plan on experimenting with the use of black and white - similar to Jake Bugg's album cover - as this will protray the emotions he feels during the majority of his songs (as he is an indie rock artist and therefore the majority of his songs are about his feelings).

 I am going to go in to Ottery St Mary tomorrow and photograph Jonny for my album cover and album poster.  In order to show continuity between the magazine advert, album and music video I will use the same fonts for the name of the artist which we have decided to use - 'Jono' - and for the name of the song as this will show that they are both for the same artist and song.
