Print Productions Research

 Little Comets is a fairly similar band to Jungle Doctors (both genre and style). I noted that both the band's album covers are very artistic with a 'childlike art' feel to it. This makes the band seem slightly shadowy as the audience don't have an idea of what they look like. Although they don't have an idea of what the band looks like, the album cover is very artistic and creative which gives off the impression that the album is creative too. Audiences who are interested in the band may be intrigued to listen to or buy the album due to this creative and imaginative feel of the cover. This stretches my idea to explore into artists that design and make very creative paintings which could strongly influence my print production for Jungle Doctors. Some of the songs released from Little Comets are quite cheery and childlike such as 'Dancing Song'. This song from the band strongly links to both of the album covers on the right (In Search of Elusive) as there is a solid relation between the theme of the song and the theme of the album cover. However, in some of the band's songs the lyrics are very poem like. For example, the song 'Worry' has these opening lyrics 
"Her silhouette is bleaker than a cigarette
On a Tuesday morn when I feel humanity slip
From broken hands down to her hips
Realising lethargy in both her eyes"
This creative poem-like theme to the song gives an intelligible artistic feel to it which is incredibly similar to the album cover on the left (Life is Elsewhere).

Foals is another band which is very alike to Jungle Doctors. They also use art for the album covers. The album cover on the right if for the single 'Inhaler'. The lyrics to the song strongly reference narcissism and claustrophobia. It's a very dark song compared to others in which they have released. The view of the person's back looking down strongly signifies this feeling of claustrophobia. The remarkable artwork for both album covers, like Little Comets, makes the band seem extremely expressive and visionary and will appeal to a wide range of audiences. The Foals are also very much into vinyl and dislike Spotify and streaming. This attitude could indicate an unconventional style which may have inspired the bizarre images on their album covers.

These are some other album/single covers of similar artists/bands that give me some ideas for my print production for Jungle Doctors:

Mystery Jets - Twenty One
The grainy, vintage effect of this image is strongly representative of the music genre. The soft blend of red, blue and yellow colours give the picture a softer feel which is strongly appealing. The name of the band and the album are also included in a subtle way which is not to outstanding.

Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History
The name of the band is extremely bold and striking, especially with the astonishing wide eyes of the cat pictures behind the lettering of the band.

 

Theme Park - Two Hours
This album cover is a fairly dark theme, however, the light from the television is drawn onto the astronaut which makes the image rather interesting as it's extremely unusual. The light from the lamp also draws attention to the name of the band and the album name.
