Imagine you’ve got a record coming out (those things in Sainsbury’s next to the Blu Rays).
What will its title be? Can you come up with a track list? What is your artist name? What will your logo look like?
TASKS
- Design a logo for your artist name. What will it be?
- Think of a name for your album – draw a font for it. See below for inspiration.
- You need a track list. Think of, say, ten song names.
- Finally, design your album cover. It needs to catch eyes in the record store (or supermarkets) – how will you use colour? Space?
INSPIRATION:
Prominent figure – this music will make you dance!
With shades on!
Use of black and white contrasts nicely with gold.
You could go the sci-fi/superhero route.
Here, Marvel artist Bob Camp lets you know how out-of-this world Newcleus are, their lyrical and musical abilities mirrored by superhuman surroundings.
And a dinosaur, because why not?
A tillerman was in charge of steering the back wheels of a fire engine and deploying the ladder!
This guy in the picture is enjoying his tea, and I wonder if his tabel is on wheels.
He wasn’t the only rapper to do this.
Maybe you could draw yourself as a baby, or even create a cover digitally like this!
You could draw yourself flying surrounded by important or fun things!
Lupe here has a Qu’ran his dad gave him, designer glasses to show he’s made it and can afford expensive eyewear, a Nintendo cartridge (I would have Zelda!), and a friend’s boom box (see elsewhere on Homeschool Mixtape!).
