Designing a draft album artwork.

As a part of the preparation process for our final piece we were told to create an album cover (only front and back) for the music band or an artist we've made up.

As I'm a huge fan of Indie Rock I've decided to create an Indie Rock band. It was relatively hard to come up with the name in the time given, but after several unsuccessful band names I've stopped at 'Time Travellers'. I like the way it sounds and the name itself reflects something magical and marvellous, relaxing and light, which fits with the overall mood of Indie Rock music.

Time Travelers 'Space Key' album cover:

The name of the album is 'Space Key'. I wanted the album name to carry on with the same mood as the name of the band and also I quite like the irony in here - when you read 'space' you instantly think about cosmos, starts, sun and all that kind of staff, but then 'key' brings you back down to the earth, making the whole phrase to completely change it's meaning so that 'space' no longer mean anything magical and beautiful. Also, 'space key' - is what you press on the keyboard if you want to watch a music video, so it's also quite meaningful in that sense.
