Front Album Cover

The front of my album cover will be a close up of the artist as it is important for a new artist to be recognised by the audience/customers straight away, and this will help make him more recognisable. However, Scissor Sisters do use bright, vibrant colours, which I will use for the alter ego's side of the cover.

The front picture will be a close up of Casey Anderson as his two characters, such as the movie poster for Face/Off, and also like the character Two-Face from Batman.

An example of an artist using this same sort of image for their album cover is Peter Gabriel, who in one album cover has half of his face smudged, while the other side is clearer. Queen, Bee Gees and David Bowie also come under the neo-glam rock genre, and they have album covers that are similar to what Casey Anderson's will be.  In Casey Anderson's front picture, it will be the same face, but one half of him will be brighter, while the other will be surrounded by dark colours. His entire face is painted white, but on the right side he has red makeup above his eye, to keep in character with the alter ego, while on the left side he has blue makeup below his eye, pointing downwards to show his sadness. The right side will be wearing a white shirt with a red tie, while the left side will be edited so that his shirt is black and his tie will be a darker colour as well.

The typeface for these album covers feature basic lettering, but sometimes use bright colours to juxtapose against the plain backgrounds used. The main feature tends to always be the face, to promote the artist, and the backgrounds are kept simple to not distract from them.
