In this blog, I did some research on the following record sleeve artists that I had chosen from the list. These are: Chvrches - ‘Clearest Blue and Max Richeter - ‘Dream 3’.
First thing I did to start this brief, I explored these two artists music videos to collect an ideal concept of what design I should focus the Record Sleeve that I would design and produce for them. With the Chvrches - Clearest Blue music video it only showed a series of a clear blue sky and clouds. Which was difficult for me to get some inspiration. So I looked up the lyrics of this song and selected one sentence of the lyrics to get an idea what I should create on my Record Sleeve. The lyric was “You were the perfect star”, so I focused most of my sketches on this specific lyric line and developed it along there. For the Max Richeter - Dream 3, when I listen to the music video, there was no lyrics being sung. Therefore I had to focus on the melody of the song to think of a design idea for the Record Sleeve design. These sketches of these included an idea of something quite dreamy and
mystical as the melody’s music contained.
I also looked at other famous record sleeve designers for some research and inspiration to these are: Peter Saville, Jamie Reed, Annie Leibovitz, Storm Thorgerson, Fred Deakin, Mark Farrow and Leif Podhajsky. I did take some of there designs in consideration. However, it was the designs that I could really take forward as they were all too good. So instead I looked up a Graphic Designer who was similar to my sort of style in art and used it for the record sleeve design inspiration for the two artist that I have chosen to design for. The Graphic Designer that I chose for influence was Andrew Bannecker, who has been my inspiration for previous briefs. This Graphic illustrative style and colour scheme is really interesting to the eye. As well as it resembles the idea that I want my design to be like.
