We all heard the saying, we should never judge the book by its cover, and the same formula probably applicable for design. But we can’t also ignore the fact that an angelic cover with attractive design always grab our attention to dig us into the interior. A beautiful album cover does the same thing for the audience. Here we will give you some simple tips to all aspiring designers who sometimes find new ideas to create MUSIC ALBUM COVER DESIGN to refresh the thought worldwide by their design.
Here are the tips….
- INFUSE WITH IMAGINATION
- Giving shape of your imagination can be a tool to design any album cover. We see an interesting creation on TEGAN AND SARA music album cover where the photographs of band members are infused in a single image to demonstrate the theme.
- Otherwise you also can exploit the subject matter of the album to inspire you to create the cover by giving effects on lead photograph or by taking the central idea of that album and portray them on the album cover design.
- THROW NOSTALGIC TOUCH BACK
- You also can give your design a creative and fun touch that we can see at the fully hand-illustrated album designed by MISTER MILLERCHIP where simple black and whitecolor is used to give the album a retro look.
- You can also use hand-drawn imagery and hand-written type on your album cover. It gives a bit personal touch and will take the audience to their nostalgic era.
- SHIFT THE ATTENTION ON THE DISK
- You can take the advantage of disk-cutting to shift the focus completely from the album cover design to the disk-keeping the outside minimal with a carefully designed chink to peep through the inner element having a pop of color on the disk with a creative design.
- Here are some additional designs to inspire you!
- ENTWINE THE TYPOGRAPHY
- There is no need to embrace that typography is a powerful tool in your hand through which you can play around in variety of ways.
- You can try Typography with bold colors or multi layered typography, or may be a typography with 3D view.
- COMPLEMENTARY PALETTES
- Choosing a color scheme is another important part of the album cover. To stay a bit offbeat you can also choose complementary color scheme to either soothe your audiences ‘eye or dazzle with bright colors. You can also sample the color directly from photograph used for the cover in case the album designed by Aim where color schemes chosen from the backdrop, model’s hair color and shadow tones throughout the design.
- Or you can also follow the chosen route to stay safe by playing with familiar solid color of color wheel.
