Final Album Artwork

My final album artwork is a development from the following preliminary design:


This design developed to this front cover:
After studying into postmodernism I thought of the idea to create my album cover to highlight aspects of postmodernism as the famous fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood is portrayed. The reasons for my decision to reflect Little Red Riding Hood is that the tale includes death and deceit, which can be thought of a code of the music genre. Also it highlights the idea of fantasy which is associated with the gothic genre. The image created of Little Red Riding Hood in the forest with the shadow of the wolf also composes a a contrasting image between the two characters as she is shown to be innocent and the wolf to be dark and a scary creature. If this was to be put on the shelves in the shop I think that this would stand out due to colours and the obvious association made with the tale. Within this cover I have also adopted the conventions of  album covers such as the title of the album, bands name and the parental advisory sign. 

The back of the cover: 
The back of the cover is a continuation of the front as it is the same image of the back cover. The conventions adopted on the back are the track list, barcodes, production information and company details.
