This is the cover for "Talkie Walkie" by Air. Kevin Parker said that this album was particularly influential on Tame Impala's sound so it may be a good idea to observe what could be borrowed from the art-work of this album cover. This album cover features a simpler design than Disraeli gears however at the same time it doesn't seem to feature any particularly standout images.
The only main image on the cover is a picture of the band themselves which would be hard to use and wouldn't particularly fit in with the psychedelic genre or my idea of using one particular graphic. The only particularly noticeable feature of the photo is that they are both wearing leather gloves, however I don't feel this would be appropriate to my design.
The only other feature of this cover is the written equations behind the artists. These could appear as a graphic on my cover; for example the equation of time would be appropriate to the theme of the song. However in reality I think an equation would make quite a weak main image so I don't think I will be including it on my design. It would of been nice to use something from this album design as it is an album that is particularly influential on the bands sound however in reality there is nothing I could borrow that would make the simple standout design I am aiming for.
However the canvas style background and the hand writing style text used in this design are a couple of elements that I do like. I think these may be good ideas to use in my own design as this background is simple and effective so it shifts all the attention to the main image; which I wish to do in my own design. I also think the handwritten style text would be effective as it suits this background and keeps with the psychedelic these of art/drawings that is seen in a lot of psychedelic imagery and album covers.
