I like also that it seems to be mimicking a variation of the Royal Lion and Crown mark that you see associated often with England, and I like that it had the potential to really tie into the "Bedlam" theme (which is a nickname for a London Psyciatric hospital, if I'm not mistaken). I wanted to clean it up a little and make it front and center.
I LOVE that monkey wearing the crown on the bottom left, and I felt that it could make for a strong, marketable image to be the focal point of the album artwork (can you imagine T-shirts with the image on it sold at concerts?). My goal was to create a much simpler album cover that could be instantly recognizable and featured a much clearer, less cluttered design. All in all, my problem with it is that there is just too much going on and seems randomly put together between Blunt's image, the image flow coming from his head, and the pattern on the background. There seems to be a few good ideas laced in there, but they get lost as they compete with each other. I feel like the existing cover is very cluttered and "stuffed". One design I'd like to get some C&C on is for James Blunt's Back to Bedlam. I'll either do so because I feel the album is a poor design altogether, or I'll do it just for fun (even if the design is a good one). I feel like it's all part of the experience, or at least should be.Īlong with designing new covers, I also really like to re-design existing album covers. I'm a huge music lover, and love the relationship that a well-designed album cover can have with the album you're listening to. Something I've really wanted to do and pursue is designing album covers.
