Today we were briefed on the first brief for OUGD406, Design Practice 1, which is an entry for the Secret 7 competition. By this time I'd decided that the song I was going to design a sleeve for is Grounds For Divorce by Elbow. I decided this because after listening to the songs that I'd narrowed it down to (the ones by Elbow, Black Sabbath, Jake Bugg and Lorde) a few times, I decided that not only was Grounds For Divorce was the song that I liked the most, but also the song that I feel I could relate too most, which imagine could be quite important.
One of the mandatory requirements in the brief is a collection of 30 images as potential ideas for the album cover. I drew the above 4 spider diagrams to give me some ideas as to what I could draw for my images. My ideas all stem from the name of the band, the name of the song, or two of the quotes that stuck in my head most from the song, 'I'm working on a cocktail called grounds for divorce', and 'Someday we'll be drinking with the seldom seen kid', as these 4 seem appropriate things to base the potential concepts for my cover on.
Unfortunately my drawing isn't amazing, and some of the more appropriate words I came up with were more conceptual as apposed physical, which instantly makes the drawing part even harder for me. Fortunately the brief doesn't specify the quality the drawings need be, so I drew them in a way which I feel best summed up the word, weather it be visually or iconically.
