1960's Album Artwork.

As the concept of the album and the band's aesthetic having a huge vintage influence, I thought it would be a good idea to research origional 1960's album artwork and apply the factors of album artwork from that era to my final digipack design.
I used 'bing' images to research album covers (vinyls) and these are some of the images I found, I can already see aspects of the artworks that I can use and evolve to fit my intented concept and apply to my intended audience.
I really like the arty feel of this vinyl cover by 'The Mothers of Invention', at first glance, I think that it has a real similarity to the 'DFifference Clouds' filter on Photoshop, which is something I think I could experiment with on the artwork, and have already done so on the temporary 'band banner' for my blog title.
However, I don't think that the overall aesthetic design of this album cover will bode well with my ideas although Andy Warhol's artwork holds similarities to this which would work better with the concept so perhapos I should do a post on his work and how his art could influence my design choices.


Here are some more examples I found of 1960's Artwork.

Animatic.

Here, I have created an animatic from my storyboard for the music video to 'End Of the Night'.
When storyboarding, I wanted to use post-its to create each shot as I had ideas in my head of the shots I wanted to use but I was unsure as to the order I wanted to place them in. So, because of this, I used post-its so that I could re-arrage shots until I was happy with the final result.
I also thought it would be a good idea to use three different colours of post-its to determine the three locations to avoid confusion in the animatic of where each shot would be filmed, especially during the faster editing.
I decided to use a beige colour for the studio location, the lighter green for the park location and the darker green for the 'factory'.
Some shots are used more than once as I wanted to use multiple shots using the same techniques and camera angles which I believe will add continuity and link the locations together.
I used Windows Movie Maker to produce my animatic which I found hard at times due to the program crashing a lot of the time which became fustrating and time consuming.
