Possible Album Cover

Playing arounds on Photoshop I made this album cover. I think the red works really well and the blue and white text really stands out without being too dominating. I have also incorporated the 'key' image from our video but altered it so it appears different.

Possible images and edits for album cover or inlay etc

Experimenting with Images

I'll try uploading the rest when blogger allows me

Experimenting with Images

I used our key image of Liam from the shoot and experimented with it in order to see what effects worked with the image, please feedback. the rest of the images are on the next post as they would not all fit on

Album Cover Concept: Revolution (unfinished)

After discussing how the Album name might be, 'The New Administration', this immediately brought to mind revolution, and in turn revolutionary figures. I know that both Madonna and Coldplay have already played upon this with their own album using Che Guevara and the French revolution as shown in the images below:


Thus in turn thinking about other revolutionary figures came to mind especially, Lenin after seeing this bold image of Lenin that was taken during the peak of the Russian revolution. Not only does he look like a bold figure but he also appears as if he is leading a new frontier. This could then link to our artist being both contreversial and an anarchic figure and so I think the image below could be altered to link to Lenin while at the same time beingrelated to our artist, 'Boy, Interrupted', like in the sketch at the bottom.

Artist name:

After Liam's cracking idea of 'Boy Interrupted' and his reasoning for this, I thought i would jsut post some info to clarify it.....

Girl, Interrupted is a best-selling[1] 1993 memoir by American author Susanna Kaysen. In the book, Kaysen relates her experiences as a patient in a psychiatric hospital in the 1960s after being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. The memoir's title is a reference to the Vermeer painting Girl Interrupted at her Music[2].

The plot of Girl, Interrupted does not follow a linear storyline, but instead the author provides personal stories through a series of non-chronological vignettes and personal reflections on why she was institutionalized.

In April 1967, 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen is admitted to McLean Hospital, in Belmont, Massachusetts, after attempting a half hearted suicide. She denies it was a suicide attempt to a psychiatrist who suggests she take time to regroup in McLean, a private mental hospital. Susanna is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and her stay extends 18 months[5].
The film is rated R by the MPAA, for strong language and content relating to drugs, sexuality, and suicide.

Themes:

• mental illness vs. conformity
• hospitalization as treatment
• treating the brain vs. the mind
• freedom
