Green Day's album, American Idiot does not sport an image of the artist (band members) but still shows the genre of the band; punk rock - using typical style iconography and colours (red and black) - conventions associated with blood and religion and politics; serious subject matters often targeted in the lyrics of Punk Rock.
We are aiming to emulate this style; the album we are designing for lyrically covers the themes of love and hate, betrayal, and the struggles of every day society, cross linked with Politics.
The album will more than likely be called 'Knock Knock'... being 'a knock on the door of the government, the people and their illusion'.
Hence such themes will hopefully show through in the final product.
However....
Here we have Paramore's album 'Riot' - a great success musically and financially. As we can see below, the members of the band are shown on the album cover.
At the moment we are not planning on showing the artist on the cover, but we are planning on experimenting with this to see if the effect works for the image and style of the band; by taking multiple approaches at this task, we can pick and choose which we like best, and which fits the band's image.
