More specifically I've gathered some album and EP covers from the band whose song I am using, Bastille, in order to seek inspiration and ideas linking directly to their songs. In terms of the main images I found they have mainly focused on the surroundings rather than the actual people within shot. Besides 'Flaws' there is no human face within the shot despite people being used in 4 of the 6 album images. This links with the ideas portrayed on the Kodaline and Imagine Dragons album (previous post) by using models but not making them the main focus. There are a number of conventional themes that Bastille have carried throughout some of their front covers. Firstly the low lighting and dull colours, often linked with alternative rock music videos, are a constant hint to the type of music to expect on the albums. A common theme on the EPs is the structure of the words and the way they cross over one another. This may be something I experiment with on some of my drafts. Though I'm creating my own artist I do want to take a piece of Bastille into my own work and have decided to do this using the triangle technique to represent A. This is Bastille's trademark and is ever present on all digipak covers I hope this is something I'm able to carry through to my final draft.
