The album cover is best represented in the creation of combining an art movement with a band or solo artist. It is to help show a great understanding on how the art movement is created and how we could incorporate or alter it to connect it with the band. The front side can show our own imagery with the art movement with a certain twist while the back focuses more on the text and how we can connect it towards the front but also keeping true to the understanding of spacing, placement, and connection through the title, subtitles, and body. The art movement imagery must show signs of that art movement while the band is a helping representation on who is being portrayed.
In the process of research, I stumbled on the Stenberg brothers Vladimir and Georgii that worked with the art movement of constructivism. Constructivism was more of odd colors that pop to the viewer suitably orange, yellow as well as red and always using spaces and illustrations of people either whole body or close-up parts (eyes, hands, face). For that the band Panic at the disco was best suitable for the Stenberg’s type of constructivism style.
The recreation of Vladimir’s boxing poster took a while to alter when creating these three individual figures. The use of iPad arts app and Photoshop and InDesign helped with the creation of the front cover yet a struggle with the font searching, trying to find a blocky but not so big type was a bit hard yet I ended up with Rockwell’s extra bold it’s not a spot on to the type of the Stenberg’s use but its closer than the Berlin Sans which is much thinner than the Rockwell’s font. The back side was harder because I had to work with trying to keep it simple yet unique. For that I had the top change the color of the background to match the front cover and went with yellow rim and black center with red fonts that gives the panic at the disco a panic type connection I was planning on adding shape but feared of overcrowding and decided to make a repeat of the three lines from the front and incorporate it to the back and help give more than just the fonts in the background while fixing the text in a small movement type fashion with it mostly covering the left side but almost shifting towards the right and partnering the side A and side B subtext with the two separate bodies I would have added an illustration but thought keeping it more simple seemed better.
