51. Wheres my idea come from?

I was inspired by many of these artistes album as they had a related genre of music to my artist which is "LamieLDN" mainly a soul and r&b artist. So i decided to look into albums that were created by these 3 artists. I have decided to take many different attributes from each album and influence into my design work.

Throughout looking at these albums they have somethings in common such as barcode, copyright law, portrait of artist, distributor company, production company, album name and artist name. I will need to ensure that my album has all these code and conventions or it will not be up to date with the music industry market.

After thinking of how i would layout my images and text i decided that the rule of three will come in handy to create a perfect composition between text and image. All albums center their artist in the middle of the album so i will replicate the same thing with a close-up of my artist on my album. Along with this the text usually just above the artist head or below so i will have decide on if i want it to be above the artist head or below ensuring that it doesn't cover the artist.

On the back cover it will have the full track list of each song within the album written on each will have a unique name. Barcode will be place on the back so it can be identified as a certain product using optical laser. Copyright to prevent anyone profiting from our album which helps the company grow and contain revenue. Company logos will be added as the production and distributor as they would want to be mentioned to build reputation.

For the site i was influence by "Lane Del Rey" and "Adele" from past blogs about analysis of website you could see that both sites have had some sort of relation of promoting the album before anything else. On top of this they tried to squeeze in the artist's name and album name but were usually bold and quite large. The real focal point was trying to sell the audience the newest album available which i would like my website to do as its a strong selling point to sell the album.

There was always a site that introduces you to the album before you can enter the official site which forces the audience to look at the album first which i will also be implementing in. As soon as you do enter the site you're hit with a preview of the newest music video or some sort of photo gallery or event.

Colours and font will be themed to match with my album cover so that it creates strong synergy making it become more recognized as a signature look to the target audience and public.
