Album Cover Practice

After analysing digipacks I decided to create my own versions of well known vinyl covers, I chose Nick Cave's "From Her To Eternity" and The Clash's "Combat Rock. I have taken my own photographs inspired by them and edited them similar, I chose these covers as they are both my style therefore I want to be able to make my digipack cover for Minor Crisis to still look like it fits in the indie rock genre but to also show my style. The top images are the real covers, (from the left we start off with Nick Cave's front cover with the following imagine across the top row is his back cover, the next image is off The Clash's front cover along with the final right image which is their back cover, underneath are my own versions of the covers with the same pattern). For Nick Cave's album I decided to change it slightly by having a different angle, I made my version less vampy and made it more warm, which is also why I changed the colour of the name as I decided to copy the colour of my model's top just like original is the same colour as Cave's top, this theme I carried onto the back cover to again go for a similar look. For The Clash's album I used my friend's that will be featured in my music video, for this cover I decided to make my version more cool toned, this is because the original version has a lot of empty space which is very white therefore I went for the opposite and had my background darker and made the model's paler to add the vampy look to this album as I wanted to experiment with both warm and cool tones covers, the back cover that I copied I tried to link more with the front cover which is why I used a photo of the train tracks for my back cover and made it darker to show more texture.
