As Disclosure and Sam Smith were our inspiration for this music video, I have decided to look at their album covers and how we can use them to help us with the design of ours.
Disclosure - Settle
The only image in this album is a young picture of the two brothers with the disclosure face art over their faces which is very simple but effective due to the face art. They have used a simple straight font with a black and white colour scheme at the front which is then carried on in white on the inside. The main element of their synergy is again the face art which appears in all platforms such as music videos. The colour scheme uses very calm and warm colours through a dark green with white text over it which makes it stand out. They use the Island logo under the song list inside.
Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour
This is a similar album cover to the one above as it only uses one picture with just the artist and album name on the front. The picture is is just him in a sitting position with the only noticeable synergy aspect being his costume which uses a bomber jacket like he often does. It also uses a simple straight font which stands out against its dark background. I have picked these two because they are very simple but effective with no complex use of photoshop or effects. This is something I will like to go for personally.
