Here are some examples of some simplistic album cover ideas.
These album covers are realistically very easy to create; however they are
extremely effective. For example the XX’s artwork for their album is simply a
white ‘X’ placed on a plain black background. This binary opposite is very
effective in gaining attention, and it represents the band too. Similarly Arctic
Monkey’s album cover (first photo) uses the same colours, however includes
sound waves in white in contrast to the X, yet again the simplistic/minimal
look is very effective. The majority of these artworks are also from an indie
or alternative genre, this can show that certain conventions seem to be
followed throughout the genre, which is something to consider when designing
our own cover.
