For this album cover we decided to have a totally black background with just one hand print that had been covered in bright, colourful powder paint, in the middle of the cover.
Iconography linked to sound...
- The bold and colourful hand against a very black background shows that the sound stands out and just like the hand does. We decided to do a hand print because it links to throwing powder paint which is in our music video. I think the fact that there is just one hand print on a black background shows the power of the song.
Typography linked to sound...
- The typography that says 'Love Me Again' is in a very bold block type which shows that the song stands out and is very out there and is up beat. The fact that it is very sharp and angular shows that there is no flow to the song but that it is very to the point and up beat.
Conventions...
- The song that we have picked is a dance/pop song. The conventions of this genre of song is loud, bold, colourful, up beat and powerful. We have showed this in our album cover idea through the typography and the iconography with the bold and colourful text and picture.
Meta-narrative
- John Newman has a traditional look to himself. He is very old school and retro. On his album covers you see dull colours and the main focus is him on the front. We have added the UKF (who remixed the song) look to our album cover and made it very colourful and bold to make it stand out as a dance/pop album.
