Album cover background ideas

After already knowing what kind of style we wanted for our album cover, twe thought that the background was important to connote our genre, without dominating the image. For this reason, we chose something subtle, not bright in colour, and which adhered to a more serious rock image.

Background

We wanted a smoky background for our album cover front image. The smoke rising suits "Ascension" as the title, and represents "Rising from the ashes" which is on of our band messages, and them of our debut single "Unbreakable".

The idea od flight works well with our lyrics of being "unbreakable" and "take me where I've never been". Our research into smoky images encouraged us to work toward something similar to the top left-hand side image of the light above the smoke.
