After considering a lot of different options for my cover I decide to stay simple but effective with my approach. I wanted a basic image that had relevance to the bands name but also allowed for a more abstract idea to form and develop. The actual idea of using the paper chain men came from the 3 Days Grace Album 'one-x' as they too use this idea. However they have a much darker feel to their cover and I wanted neutral colours as I thought this represented the genre of the band well. If I use this idea I plan to create the stick men myself and either photograph or scan them in and then put it all together on photoshop. I will be experimenting with different styles of cut out and the different effects create by a photograph or by scanning. I may also experiment with colours depending on feedback I receive. Again the writing is very basic as it seems to be throughout the genre the band is. I positioned it central more as I quite liked the idea of symmetry throughout the cover and I also didn't want too much spare white space as I think there is on the mock-up with the text in the corner. I think the white works well for the background however I will most likely experiment with other colours and shades. I also chose the name 'anatomy' for the album title as I thought it was short and of course linked to the idea of people.
