Album Art 3

Here i took a further look into artist who have been signed under Domino Records. The artists i have looked at below are:

• Franz Ferdinand
• The Kills
• The last Shadow Puppet

Below 1. A very well known design using only type, scale and layout. The text which is in a large point sans-serif is very in your face. The orange underline supports the type. This is a very clever design using very minimal sources. The black background works for the canvas as it supports the type.

Below 2. This is a very distinctive design - once again using minimal colour. This is one of my favorite designs i found in my research. The image which has been duo-toned which creates the image in spots of colour in a very subtle way. The colours used in the text and two make the 'text outline' are very minimal yet affective.

Below 3. Using a larger full canvas image of the band again with the duo-tone affect. I think this piece also had a blue toned background. The text is once again a sans-serif in uppercase which is made very eye-catching using a burnt orange.

Below 1. These next designs are based mainly on photography. Example 1 is based around the image. It leaves enough space at the top for the bold, upper-case band name and the album title sits between the title space and into the image. This font is hand rendered - could be a scan of the actual writing with illustrator work.

Below 2. I love this design. Using the name of the band in context with imagery this is made. Clever which works in a serious tone with a humorous tone of voice. Once again an eye-catching, uppercase, sans-serif font for the bands name.

Below 3. Another image led design which uses minimal colour and a simple layout. This design again uses the same type used before but in a different font.

Below 1, 2 and 3. The examples below are image led as well as above. However each is designed to fit around the text. The font is a sans-serif with exaggerated curves and tails. The titles for both the band name and the album are a mix of upper and lowercase.
