2. My Chemical Romance
Danger Days
I chose to look at an album cover of My
Chemical Romance as I see their music
videos as quite serious and wanted to
portray the same sense throughout my
album cover. Here their symbol that is
seen throughout the albums music
video’s has been projected over the
landscape where a lot of the music
videos where filmed. With this a filter
seems to have been added to enhance
the colour, and then a lens flare in the
centre of both the image and the
symbol.
3. Fall Out Boy
Save Rock And Roll
This album cover was meant to
represent how the band saw their new
album and music style as they came
back from their hiatus.
"We came across the punk and monk image on the
Internet and it really solidified what we were trying to
get across on the record: The idea of old and new
clashing. Tradition and change coming together,"
FOB wrote about the cover on their official site.
"Obviously this is an image that means a lot to many
people ... these kids represent the youth, change and
irreverence that we hope our record is listen to
By showing thesewith." young boy
two
wearing such contrasting looks – a
traditional monks robe against jeans, a
T shirt and smoking – the message of
how their music style is obliged to the
past but moves to the future.
4. You Me At Six
Stay With Me
This album cover is for a single
of You Me At Six, the band
whose song I am using for my
music video. I thought it would be
a good idea to see their style
even if I’m not planning on
replicating it. The song ‘Stay With
Me’ is from a different album than
‘Crash’ but creates the imagery
I’m looking for during my music
video. This may be as it seems to
portray a sense of memory and
past time – something that’s
included my my work.
5. All Time Low
Nothing Personal
I chose to look at an album cover of
All Time Low as they fall into the
same musical genre as You Me At
Six. The doodles that have been
done over photographs seem to show
a sense of childishness. The objects
such as the pencil, cassette tape and
pocket watch could have been
Scanogramed into the image to
make them seem more real.
6. Panic! at the Disco
Too Weird to Live. To Rare to Die.
Although all other chosen album
covers are also the same genre as my
chosen song, I feel that this cover will
be a heavy influence for when I
conduct my own Photo-shoot. This is
because I want to show the artist as
the significant star image of the entire
band, as it is for so many other music
groups. I also feel that the black and
white filter is very effective for the
genre – something else I may use for
my own album cover as the song I
chose fits with the emotions that can
be conveyed through this effect.
