For my album cover I have decided to have a BCU of 'Up and Coming' with tape over his mouth. With the title of 'Outspoken' I feel the juxtaposition of being outspoken and having tape over his mouth works well.
I feel using the tape helps to symbolise the censorship of the media.
may vision for the album cover is similar to the white light shots in my music video. I find the white light shots very flattering and dramatic. As you can see below it creates a clear and crisp photo that would stand out against all the other album covers, this still from the music video has inspired my album cover. I also feel it would create synergy to use a similar (but not the same) image.
The bright white background helps to create a professional look to the picture and helps 'Up and Coming' to stand out.
Using the tape will help to create a dramatic album cover and will hint to the censorship of the media.
Censorship of the media is a very big deal, very recently it has been a main issue. From the phone hacking scandals to the recent Charlie Hebdo incident in Paris. Censorship is an on going argument; the case of creative freedom to safety of the public.
