Marc's first draft design of the 'Lost Days And Nights' album cover.
Hello all
The pic above is a rough draft for the ‘Lost Days And Nights’ album cover, we’re still sifting through the artwork ideas and should hopefully make a final decision in a couple of weeks.
Originally the artwork was going to be handled by a local photographer/cartoonist called Alistair Murphy and our meetings with him were very fruitful with many ideas brainstormed, unfortunately other commitments got in the way and Alistair had to back down which was disappointing but we all understood he’s predicament.
With Alistair leaving the project I (Marc) decided to take a crack at the artwork. I wanted to create an interesting theme where the design could look edgy yet simple. I had recently seen a film called a ‘Scanner Darkly’ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405296/ and loved the dark gritty comic book effect and felt some of our songs especially Coked Up Russians, Tied To Shadows and Apperception really identified with themes explored in the film. I decided to take pictures of the band and edit them to create a similar effect to the film. For the name of the band and the album title I decided to keep with the comic book theme and used speech boxes that should hopefully capture peoples eyes.
All comments and thoughts are very welcome
Have a good week
Marc (D.A)
