When creating our album cover we looked at many drum and bass covers for inspiration, we chose Chase and Status who wrote the song ‘Let you go’ as particular inspiration for our cover which we based on their urban, arty style. Their album covers use urban, gritty artistic photography to represent their style in their album. We adapted their style and took a number of urban artistic shots of a youth bare knuckle fighter who is representative of the young, rebellious, urban youth audience who we target as a band. We kept the layout of the album cover simplistic with the band and song title as the only added element to the cover. The inside cover features a similar design and image layout with the fighter youth as the main attraction of the cover along with a smashed record which symbolises rebellion and anti-authorial image. Overall I think that the album cover worked very well as it not only feeds in and conforms to the star image of SMAK but it will also appeal to our target audience, conforming to other drum and bass album covers due to the research done and influence from artists such as Chase and Status.
