My first instinct was to have a look at the lyrics of my chosen song which was Reflections - Diana Ross & The Supremes.
I decided to use only a selection of lyrics to help me define my problem for the album cover.
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
As I peer through the window
Of lost time.
Here are a few of my initial ideas that I have sketched up to help me start with an idea.
For my initial ideas I wanted to replicate the silhouettes of Diana and The Supremes. Their group was iconic for their choice of wear as well as their hair. However, I then started to look more into the lyrics and how they could be used to promote a song. I wanted to create something that would represent the artists and that would be enhanced by the lyrics. I didn't want to create something that would represent loneliness but would make you think about how emotional and understanding the lyrics are.
I then created a few more sketches that were more directed at microphones because of the way the artists use the microphones as their iconic image. I also thought about making their hair their iconic image as they all have similar hair styles that represent them as artists.
