Inspiration

This album, “On my own” by Yasmin has a variety of different album covers that all have a running theme. Each image has been edited into black and white which contrasts the coloured paintbrush effect of her initial. I think this is very effective as her initial stands out but it doesn’t obstruct the audience’s view of the image. The use of a bold bright colour contrasting the image shows reference to the genre (pop) however she hasn’t over powered the cover by using too much colour like most pop artists do;  She has used a simplistic style.  Her bold initial looks as if she has written it herself with a paintbrush, this makes the album more personal which could relate to or have significance to her album. In addition, as a plain black and white background is used she looks quite isolated and this links in with the album name ‘On my own’.

I would like to use these album covers as my inspiration because I think they work really well and will also fit with my artist and the genre of pop. I could use the running theme of the coloured initial in a paintbrush effect over black and white images through each section of my digipack to ensure I get the same effect that Yasmin has achieved.
