Similar Artist's Album Artwork

Similar band's to our chosen band are: Bombay Bicycle Club and Arcade Fire.

I wanted to look at their album artwork because the music of these bands is not to similar to our band, The Cutaway. The use of this will hopefully reflect the genre and give me more ideas on how to get the image of the band across.

Bombay Bicycle Club

Album: A Different Kind Of Fix

This is the third album from the indie alternative band, Bombay Bicycle Club, released in August 2011 from the record label: Island Records.

The album artwork gives the feeling of renaissance medical artwork, it shows a female and male anatomy, in a colorful way, as if their insides were floral patterns- which is shown on the CD. 

 

Leonardo Da Vinci- Male Anatomy Drawing

 Here is an image of Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomy drawings, he wanted to explore the human physiology. Although the anatomy drawings would originally be quite graphic, here the floral insides contradict with the anatomy of the male and female. 

1960's Retro Floral Print

The floral print looks as if it were a retro 1960's floral print, which gives the impression of a care-free sort of hippy-ish feeling. 

Arcade Fire

Album: The Suburbs

This is the third studio album from the indie-rock band, which was released in August 2010.

 

I like the look of the album cover for this, it is so simple yet effective. It looks as if it were a vintage 1950's photo, and the second cover is easily achieved by finding a 50's font and layering it over the top of another image, then putting a pink tint effect on top. I like the vintage look the album has and would like to achieve this myself when designing my digi-pak.
