The before and after

This is my original art art piece before i manipulated  it on Photoshop, I aged and washed out the bright colors making it look vintage with a aged background.

End result.

rock/pop/indie album cover (examples)

These are examples of indie covers, the artist element is defiantly the shared feature between them, the artist face so not appear on these album, as graphical art abstract and modern art pieces are on the covers of these albums. Independent bands and musician focus on the portrayal and image of the music more then the artist.
I will incorporate these abstract styles in my own album using work from my art alevel, however as my artist is a rock/pop/indie, and pop albums feature the artist face in the album cover so people familiarise with the artist face as an image. Therefore i may incorporate both my artist face and abstract art work into my final digipak front cover.

End result would be similar to this album cover.

Just to get an idea

CoverArts.com is a new site that lets visitors vote up cd and book cover designs. You can view covers by most recent additions or by highest rated. At least one new cover design is added every day. CD cover design has it's own unique design challenges - sometimes conceptual, other times it's creating a style for an artist photo or photos.

Each cover is tagged with genre or type, so you can search for just Rock or Hip/Hop covers with a simple click. Cool.
