Progress with Album Image

After popping out numerous keys from an old donated keyboard i have manageed to get the keys to spell out "Th3 EDI1ON" which is a desired effect, all i need to do now is find an old abandoned motherboard in which i can also dismantle. The keyboard which was kindly donated also has a wire upon it which i intend to cut and break, in use for my Album Cover. But it is quite fun breaking things.

New Idea On Album Art

After long thought and consideration, well from deciding not to carry on with the previous album art, i have decided to create my image saying the edition with old computer parts which may kindly be donated by the IT department of my school. The things I presume i need are, old broken keyboards, broken cables and possibly parts from inside a computer like the green boards in which you can get, with all the soldered pieces upon it.

I know i have many cables at home, and a place to get some motherboard pieces but how to arrange them shall be another problem. I think i want the album to say "The Edition" in computer pieces and possibly if its not too tricky get the song name upon it too.

Final Album Art So Far...

This is how far i have gotten with the album cover " We Only Make Computers For Education". At the Minute I am still not sure if I like the design in which i have created as i feel there are little images in what i can use to add to the final product. As well as the bands name, "The Edition", because it does not stand out as much as I thought it would upon the orange background. This could possibly be as far as i get with the album art as no new ideas have come from creating it.

We Only Make Computers For Education

Recently the song in which I am creating a music profile and video on was played upon BBC Radio Stoke on the SubCulture show.

Mock Up 2

This is the second of the mockups that i have created for the album art, and i am getting closer to what i finally want to achieve. In the final mockup however i shall create the town with the letters of The Edition, and the images of the wires shall be that off my own. Regardless of the colour i think it shall be bright enough with the coloured back ground and the yellow sun.

Mock Up

This is the first mock up of the album cover, i tend to create the art with computer theme (like this one) however i cannot use this album cover as the images are not mine.

I do intend however to find some multi-coloured cables and use them in the main image, this may mean however that i need to buy them, but at the expense of media, im sure i could spare a couple of quid.

Album Cover

As my current task is to film all of the footage needed for my video i thought in school time I would spend my time on starting to create an album/single cover for my band and song. The album art shall be 13 centimetres wide by 12 centimeters wide, (369pixels wide x 340pixels high).

As the song is called "We Only Make Computers For Education" I was going to use this as a play on words and create some sort of a cartoon graphic, with block colours and bold lines, of a computer being made and being distrubuted straight to a school. However i may just choose to go for a simple design, related to computers and education, in block colour which stands out. The image will be simple just like the foofighters covers and the fall out boy cover.
