From the given links on moodle, inspirationfeed.com, smashingmagazine.com and bestdesignoptions.com. Here our a few examples of the art work that inspired me and what I found interesting. I like the simplicity of most of the pieces which I like to think is my style of work. I like the idea of the imagery catching the viewers attention and quite elegant/subtle rather than the other way around. The top two examples from smashingmagazine the colouring drew me in, I have a fair idea of what the band want in their design. They want me to go along the lines of Old Orleans and mardi gras and big festival, so I am going to research into that but initially I have thought of warm colours yellows and reds to relate to this theme.
The colouring in these art works is quite subtle and mellow which I really like and thinkI have chosen to research them as I have intial idea of what the band want already. Below the 'make do and mend' cover I really like, the style is similar to the photos I had done for the magazine spread project. The effect is a high exposure making it quite raw and slightly retro which may work really well as the band is jazz-funk and are influenced by 60's and 70's musicians. I also like in the majority of these pieces there are no photographs used it's mainly illustration which I think I would like to play and experiment with.
