Ancillary: Final Decision on Album Cover




The reasoning behind this album artwork was to show the link in our music video, of the victim and the mind. To begin we looked at the main concept and message of the video, which is: a person battling through their depression to a point where they can begin to heal. The masks reflect this in our album artwork. Our album artwork shows multiple links from our music video. 

Firstly, the symbolism of the rose reflects within our music video, showing the purity of Jenny as she finally comes out of her depression. 

Secondly, we incorporated our own drawings and sketches for the the artwork. This is similar to Amy's Ghost, as she designs them herself by using sketches, water paints and her creativity. 

We developed the sketch of the mask to create a outline would be later painted. We then tested several backgrounds and decided upon a three layered red background that is not only warm and somewhat comforting but also dark and the main connotation of blood. 
We positioned each aspect from what we had decided to place in the album artwork and tested which one would best suit our artist and her images.
