Rejected Album Covers



Here are some of the rejected album covers which were made with the original intention of using them as the final album cover. However over time the development of the spherical shape was deemed to be a much more reliable choice to choose as the final album cover because it clearly fit the conventions and could link towards other album covers made for alternative rock genre. These images certainly link more directly towards the video since the concept and themes of the video including drugs, sex and alcohol. However after looking through some album cover of actual alternative rock albums it appears that a direct link to the video is not necessary and actually be separating ourselves from the video in the print products would strangely allow us to link more to the iconography of alternative rock albums than if we did link directly. Overall however, we do still very much like these images. Indeed we like them so much that we have decided that our digi-pack will feature each of these images and probably more on different pages which can link to different songs. This will mean that we do not need to simply cast these images aside and we can allow ourselves to in-cooperate some aspects of the video within our digi-pack.
