Album Art Research

Some Pictures of Album Art i like.

The Album art i have researched above all are fairly simple, which i believe is very affective on the eye. A over the top, image piled album art/digipak is too much for the eye and is unnecessary.
Kanye West's album artwork is out of this world, i wish i could present a masterpiece such as his, however i do not have the resources or artistic value to put together something like them, however, The Fray's album is simple and affective and i am drawn to it, if it is in a pile of albums. In addition, Taio Cruz's 'Break your heart' is simple and yet i feel i can pull that off with my character from my music video, so i am leaning more towards the bottom half of the album art research when it comes to getting ideas for my own album art.
