Album Cover Research


  
In Search of Elusive- Little Comets

   We have decided to do some research on the artist we have chosen to do a music video by: Little Comets. By analysing their existing album, we can get a great sense of what the band are like and the image they try to portray without having to even see the band. This research will also help us later on when we create a digipak based on them.
   We like this album cover as we believe it fits in with the Little Comets' indie image very well due to the album cover looking slightly D.I.Y, not like a proffessional or graphic designer has done it, it is just down to earth and in that sense: relatable, as not everyone has fancy image software, such as up and coming musicians or aspiring ones. The album artwork is almost slightly abstract, and without knowing that the band are called Little Comets, it would almost be impossible to tell what the orange dots in the middle of the cover are, but again, it adds to the feel of being home drawn and quickly sketched out by one of the band members. This idea also shows the band to not take themselves too seriously as they're not flashy or ones to show off. They may also appeal to a younger audience of 16 to 25 because of this iconography as it's quite fun and fairly colourful, with a messy, almost handwritten style font and unusual drawing.
