Album artwork designing...

So after mainly thinking about everything else such as recording sessions and the track listing for the album we decided to get a start on album artwork.
As its an acoustic album as a group we all want different things yet we all want something simple yet reasonably detailed.

After spending three hours thinking about the different ways we could go about so we were all satisfied as a group of three we came up with the idea of creating a survey for random people in college to see what they think. These questions are asking people what kind of design they'd like to see on an acoustic album and what kind of colours. We think this would be a good idea because after all this is mostly about what attracts people to buy an album instead of being biased about it and just including what we want on it. We all agreed this would be a good idea as it would also be good market research for our product also.

Although deciding this we also all decided to each come up with two designs each to get an idea of what we all like on an album cover and try to come up with a solution to our on going problem of agreeing on something. I came up with two idea's one being a photography based album cover and the other being a more graphical drawing kind of cover. Although I have tried tirelessly to finish them I have had issues trying to fix the album covers together so no one has had a chance to see what I have come up with yet, however I'm still working on this problem and hope to get my ideas into the group as soon as I can.

After all this we then came across another fault within the group, Adam wanted to record his band however our album was based around an acoustic album so this wouldn't fit in with our initial product idea. Alie then came up with an idea to talk to us about which became the idea that solved the issues we had within the group. She came up with the idea that we would create two EP's instead of one album. One EP would be based around acoustic and the other being an EP for Adams band recordings. We all agreed that we liked this idea and are now currently working on it.

So this brings this blog to an end.

Thanks for reading,

Chazzy.
