Flick the Switch (Single Abum Cover)

Flick the Switch (Single Abum Cover)

This is our new CD cover for King of Spain's single 'Flick the Switch', and we decided to use the image of the band this time and make it even more original, but still slightly misterious, like our first idea using an effect from, the 'Comic Life' Programme.
The background is an original image from their own website, so we thought it would be very interesting to use, and it turned out to be very good, and worked quite well with the image and theme.
There is also the back cover for our CD with the King of Spain track list.

This was our first album cover for King of Spain's single 'Flick the switch'. We had chosen to put the band but in an abstract way to make it interesting and also to give the band a bit of an enigma about themselves. Using Roland Barthes enigma code we wanted to create a sense of a mystery of the band, since the band is an unsigned independent band who are not widely known to the general public. The reason why we wanted to make the band slightly mysterious was to grab the audience's attention and to develop their interest in the genre of lo-fi music. We made it quite 'edgy' and Pop Art style to keep it simple and catchy at the same time.
But we were not able to go through with this because we had to use an actual original image from the band, and use the band logo. So we had to go back to the drawing board and come up with a fresh idea.
