Diary of an album (Part 4) A meeting with the album cover maestro

By dearacetate

Picture Above- Stee J and photographer extraordinaire Alistair Murphy discuss artwork ideas for Dear Acetate’s debut album cover.

Sunday 20th July- We had our first meeting with album artwork designer Alistair Murphy in Hemel Hempstead at the Full House. Being a breeding ground for chavs we stood out like a sore thumb with Stee sporting the rock star look! Surprisingly enough we didn’t get started on, that has to be a first for me I must admit.

After a good meal and a pint we discussed the artwork and brainstormed some very interesting ideas with Alistair. I don’t want to give too much away but our album cover will be very striking! If anyone has seen album covers by ‘Pink Floyd’, ‘The Mars Volta’ and Led Zeppelin then you will see that we are planning something amazing. If anyone is interested in checking out some of the greatest album designs ever then check this out, you won’t be disappointed! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Thorgerson
