Planning Our Album Cover


Prior to concluding our final album cover we began to experiment, using Photoshop, different image layers in hope of attaining a professional outcome for our initial album cover. We constantly deliberated over small details due to the fact we were always "In Search Of Perfection". For example the use of the 2 arrows in our initial cover coneys a sense of direction, which compliments the title of our adapted video, "ON TO THE NEXT ONE", particularly well.

During planning of the back cover, we decided to combine two images in hope of obtaining a unique finish. We combined a screen shot of THE BLUEPRINT 3's original track list with a screen grab of Jacob's iPhone to create a rare and also deposits the intertextual approach we took when forming this image. In addition, the specific use of the IPhone reveals how many modern day music video's advertise various products ranging from beauty products, to electronic gadgets such as BEATS BY DRE.

The image above reveals the outcome of the oficial album tracklist combined with the electronic gadget which has been deployed fro advertising purposes.
