The album artwork was created by Art Directors Gerard Saint and Mat Maitland which make reference to several famous album covers including 'Rio' by Duran Duran on the cover left to the centre. Click Here to see what I mean.
I think that the compilation of records, using different artwork, and creating a single image of the artist is a really nice idea. I like how amplification has been used to draw reference from existing records, perhaps this is something I could take into consideration.
I think the layout is really well done, as the album name and the artist is clear, although it almost looks like the floor of a teenagers bedroom and as if the album cases have 'fallen' into place. The white 'studio' background is something that I think adds to the cover and balances out the use of bright colours, making it not appear too busy.
I think that the colours used work well together, using hints of the same tones in each album cover in the compilation. This is something I believe I should definetly think about doing, as it almost has an influence from Warhol's artwork during the pop art movement in New York. Although the cover overall looks more '80's, I think that the idea is there and could work extremely well with the concept I have created.
I like how the typography isnt too obvious although is clear due to the placing of it, and I like how it is white on a darker background which makes it 'pop' to an audiences perspective on the shelves of a music store.
Because this is a modern album cover, I think it backs up my idea that the 'vintage look' is appealing to a younger audience and I should continue in the same direction.
