Album Cover and Magazine Advert: Creating Band Image

After seeing The Prodigy use a image in their album 'Fat Of The Land.' They used an insect, i liked this idea as it gives the band an image or a symbol which represents them.

Here is the image on their previous album 'Fat Of The Land'

I was think of an image which could resemble the band and it come to me, i could use an image of a gas mask, so it links with the character in the video. A image of a gas mask is powerful, horrific and scary. This would be perfect to put on the bands album and magazine advert. I search for an image and this was my favourite:

Album Cover and Magazine Advert: Draft of Back Cover

I played around with some different back covers, but this was my favourite. I found a image on google images of a World War 2 picture of a battle field and an old lady. I played around with the information that will be on the back, Such as credits to the Producer, recording and mixer. I also inputted the copyright text which is a convention of a back cover. 

I also inputted the XL image, which is The Prodigy's record label. I also found this image of a gas mask which i thought could be used to build band image.

Album Cover and Magazine Advert: Draft of Magazine Advert

I was searching through images of old photos of people wearing gas mask, probably during a war period. There was some really cool, effect photos but the one which stood out to me was this quite chilling picture of an innocent girl wearing a gas mask. I liked this picture as it was positioned well, with a centered image. I liked the innocents of the girl with the white dress and long hair.

The gasmask is such a contrast to the image and brings in a dark feel, a characteristic we are trying to give across in our video. 

I import the image into photoshop to play about with. i recently download some really cool brushes of skulls and scientific objects. I like the simplicity of the picture so did not want to edit it to much, but I used a skull brush over the face of the gas mask. 

We thought it would be a good idea to recreate this image with Chloe wearing a gas mask for our advert.
