Albums On The Brief

In the first section of the brief criteria, I will be producing the cover artwork for either a CD, or a 12" vinyl record.
Before I research into which product route I will go down with however, as they both have unique differences, something that I can do is research the album list that I received with my brief.

I have decided to research several albums, alongside their artists from the listing, and I will do this via producing separate blogs for each, that way I can go more in depth before I make a solid choice.
It is how I work, by looking deeply into ideas and topics.

The album list is as follows below, which also features the existing original album artwork. (Albums that are highlighted in yellow in the second list after, mean that I have expressed deep interest in looking into them, and I will do via future blog posts).
