I created the design myself. As ooposed to using album art with real cast shot in a sepiear effect, i have decided too use the rough sketch. If i hadn't used the sketch then actors would have been placed in the same layout.
This was the original piece that i created in the summer
This was the finished product after experementing with photoshop
Why i like the album cover
I like it because it feels like it was drawn by a child (even the title). In my research some of the album art that i looked at had a simmilar theme of robots designed for a younger audience. However i think it provides two ends too the spectrum. On the one hand you have the cartoon apearence, but what is actually happening in the picture is quite menacing and has an adult theme which i feel provides a mature charm to proceedings.
Also i like how it looks like the drawing is on a scrap piece of paper with the edges cut off. I feel this provides a uniqe take on the aspect of drawing album covers.
