Poster and Album cover ideas contin.

Our main idea is now to focus mainly on a still with the band from the video or to take a still photo and use it as our album/poster idea. One inspiration is from a previous Mutemath album cover where the bands faces are replaced with an actual spotlight.

They also had a second album cover for this album where they have an outside stage rather than the band. We can tell it's the same album due to the same font they use on both covers. This would be a good still idea as it's not directly taken from the video. If we where to focus on this image we would change how the band stands in the photo and remove the spotlight from their faces and place them somewhere else, e.g. behind the band for instance.

Another main inspiration throughout our project has been Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, as they use many spotlights throughout their music video. They used a still as their main single/album cover which works well as there wasn't any direct narrative in the video. It also works as it's memorable and is instantly recoginesed to be the bohemian rhapsody cover.

Another out there idea is to have a close up image of any type of light with an 'M' in it,like Metric Fantasies in the old type light bulbs surrounded in darkness. Instead of the bulb, use a spotlight instead but have an M on it. Similar to the Batman signal.
