Ancillary Plan

Ancillary Plan

For the album cover I want large font so that the name stands out and is easily identifiable. An idea for the picture on the front is to have a large hill in the background with a single tree on with a person hanging from it. This sinister image presents the band this way also which is considered ‘cool’. However a problem with this is that it might not conform to the watershed idea, that the image might promote suicide. So I have chosen to go with a much more neutral idea, still sticking to the hill with tree, only making the tree look sinister with a grey sky hinting sadness, which is associated with suicide which is linked with the song.

Ideas for Album Name;

The easy way out
A sweet release
Set me free
The joy in death

These names fit the genre of the music as death is linked to metal bands. The last name is contradictory as is the song so it fits. I also think that the names have to be quite sinister and almost sadistic because the song ‘bullet’ sings about suicide but with a happy tone, which too is sadistic, so I think this fits.

For the poster I want to majority of it to be the words (name of the album) This is so that it stands out and gets people’s attention. I also want the release date and other information to be at the bottom of the poster. This is because this is the standard place for them to be and people will know where to look for it. I also want a picture to be the backdrop. The picture will be of the band with their instruments showcasing their talent as this is what fans want to see.
