Joan Baez - "Baptism"
When looking at the design of this album cover of Joan Baez shows many aspects that relate to genre of folk. This is shown through the inplication of a drawn image of the artist coming out of the tree, her hair represented as the structured branches. The small image of the artist at the top left of the could represent the idea of the artist's youth, again with the relation to nature or elements through the held flower. The youger image used could also relate the album title, that being "Baptism". The colours used for the album cover are simplistic, consisting of a beige background, the use of black. The green and pink used in the image represent the the colours of nature and youth. - "One Day At A Time"
This album cover of Joan Baez in contrast to that one of her releases above is a simple image that had been taken of the artist. It was then edited with the dampening of the saturation. The dull saturation could possibly relate to the idea of of slowness. The graining effect used shows the image could be aging which could possibly relate to the album title. The main focus in this image is that of the artist, a prodominate figure that takes almost all of the image. A centre of attention.
Well done Craig for posting cover designs from real artists to support your artwork. Note the iconic images of the artist. This suggests an image of your artist could be a primary factor in your designs for your digipak. You could use screen shots from your music video or take extra photographs of your artist.
