After Developing the Peter Gabriel covers i decided i didn't like the out come, I either needed to change my approach to his song or to make the illustrations much better and interesting. I've used the colours which are used within the official video with all the designs to create a more complete understanding for all the decisions i made when coming to the cover. I think when it came to designing the sledgehammer song it influenced me into creating strange illustrations but at first it seemed correct, if i was to go back my designs would probably be less clip art like and more mature.
Peter Gabriel
After not agreeing with the Peter Gabriel song I then moved onto St Vincent - Digital Witness, I originally had ideas for the cover so i developed them without thumb nails as i had such little time to get them ready to submit. I noticed within the video that she used a lot of different shapes within each scene. So i believed to have thought that there was an interesting focal point within the video, so to apply that to the vinyl cover would communicate a clear message. The message I've tried to communicate with these shapes is that by merging all them together would reflect on the society we live in now, a bold connection which we have with others through the use of technology such as mobiles & applications.
The colour blue meaning as a Positive - Intelligence, communication, reflection, calm &
Negative - Coldness, aloofness, lack of emotion, unfriendliness.
'lack of emotion' is quite obvious within the Official video as the lead singer shows no sign of facial expressions relating back to the colour blue meaning. A positive side to the colour is the 'communication' through the digital witness sense and the meaning behind the song ( about social media and the urge to tweet photos of everything you do a phenomenon that has arisen from the digital age)
