Research Into Similar Products: Album Art

I have been looking at various different types of album art and have realised that quite a few are animated or look drawn by hand. This is evident for The Cure's album 'Boys Don't Cry.' I enjoy this idea a lot as it seems very child-like and natural. This is also more interesting than have a photo as well because it's something unique and is memorable. 

There are other album covers that use filters, such as Belle and Sebastian's 'If You're Feeling Sinister.' There is a red filter used which links to the album name as red connotes violence, anger and lust and also links to the woman looking stressed on the cover.

These albums have really inspired me as their uses of colour and the layout of the actual band name and title are quite unique and can be adapted to my own cover in terms of linking it to nature.
