These two album covers are the ones that have struck me as being more appropriate for the type of music the band plays - they aren't crazy or intricate, and are fairly... flat, in terms of how they feel. That's probably not an appropriate description, but that's the only word I can think to describe it. Out of these specific two, I'd say that 'An End Has A Start' by Editors is having the biggest effect on what I've got in mind for my own.
The other album covers I had a look at generally didn't have the right feeling that I'm going for. For example, these:
Are all well and good, and fairly simplistic with the exception of 'The Rising Tied' by Fort Minor, but still have too much going on. For example, the clear point of focus on the Danger Doom album cover is the mouse mask (being an album called The Mouse And The Mask), but really that takes interest away from every other point on the cover that is otherwise uneventful, which works fine for what they were going for but not really for what I want. The contrast between the colors on the album cover of 'Hide From The Sun' by The Rasmus is also much too obvious for what I'm going for, but the design itself is pretty good. And finally, to be picky about the Boys Like Girls album cover, there are just too many colors for my liking - although that's making me think that the idea I have for my own is fairly average in comparison.
From looking and comparing these album covers to what ideas I have, it's actually helped me figure out what I want to do with my own album cover. Hopefully I'll have my first mock up done tonight or tomorrow.
