ALBUM ARTWORK…

At first we wanted to have this picture as the album cover because most of the artists we looked at had their album cover as the artist looking downwards. When we showed an audience this they said it looked more singer/songwriter rather than country. They said to make it more country maybe we should add a guitar. The picture bellow is the album cover. 

Before we had leaves surrounding the title (tying in the leaves in the music video) but the audience said they looked a bit tacky and homemade. The font was originally to different to the website font so we have changed it to make it the same as the website. The font is called Amatic SC. We got rid of the leaves which I think was a good decision because now it looks more professional.

 When brainstorming the ideas for the album artwork we decided we wanted to use the photos from the suitcase(storyline section - the photos darcy throws off the bridge) because we felt this would connect with the video. Originally in the music video we wanted to have the photos falling from the bridge into water, so we decided that the inside cover of the album could be of the pictures in the water but in the end we could not film the scene in the water so we decided that the inside picture of the album should be the photos on the ground covered by leaves.

The back cover of the album cover is of a close up on some guitar wood which we felt fitted nicely with the guitar on the front cover…We were going to have a picture of a guitar on the back cover but felt there would be to many guitars therefore, we had a close up on the wood of the guitar instead. We thought this would be a nice effect because its not that obvious at first but when you really look at you will realise its the wood from the guitar…
