This is the final piece from a design project I completed on my university course.
The brief was simple: select a current band or artist and design an album cover.
I chose the band Flashguns, a fairly unknown indie band, and designed a cover for their EP titled "Matching Hearts, Similar Parts"
The concept for my design originated from this design for Funeral For A Friend's - Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation album cover. I like how it portrays emotions and atmosphere between two people without facial expression. This concept was something I aimed to replicate.
In turn, the design for FFAF's album cover took inspiration from Rene Margritte's - The Lovers.
Development Stages:
Outline - This was a long process of drawing shapes and using Illustrator's Pen Tool to create curves.
Colour fill - Using Illustrator's Live Paint Bucket Tool I coloured each section with a mid tone.
Adding depth - I then brought the whole image into Photoshop and used gradients to create highlights and shadows.
