Ideas for Album

Style: The album would be made of cardboard and resemble a pocket style, with the CD slotting in one side and a booklet with lyrics, pictures etc on the other. An example of a pocket cover can been seen on the right, it is basic and yet I believe it still corresponds well with the genre of our song and also individuals may wish to buy the CD in it's physical form as it's unique and more of a collectors buy instead of downloading the song online.

Album Cover:
The album cover will have a main block colour of black this will be the background, there will be different body parts then shown in 'invisible' boxes, not all of these boxes will have something they may be plain back, the body parts will be of pure white, this then goes on to provide a visual representation of the light coming out of the darkness. The artist and album name will be in the middle. An example of one type of picture I could use is shown on the right, I would cut out the skin on Photoshop so only the lips emerged.

Changed ideas:

After using selected images off google images, to see what my piece may look like before I take my own pictures, I discovered that the the piece didn't look how I would want it to and appeaed too clean and cut and not like the 'collectors buy' I wished for.
Then I thought of two new ideas; producing an individuals face out of a collage of different peoples faces, I could slightly alter the tone on each of these pictures, still consisting of black and white.
My other new idea was that I could take a picture of an individuals face with their eyes closed, I could then go onto cut this image into seperate pieces on photoshop, not cleanly almost as if its been smashed and then tried to be put back together as a puzzle. This would also still have the black and white manner about it.
