The research examples that we have been gathering for inspiration for our own album cover are all from past albums for The Prodigy. A common factor in all of the album covers below is that they all use surreal elements and also stand out and really draw you in to the album. Although some have used bright colours and some have used dark and grungy textures they all contain a theme of surrealness.

The above album cover has been made very bright to stand out and appeal to the audience. This is a good example to look at as the colours in the background are the colours we will be likely to use in the surreal element of our video. Also the typography is quite graphic and stands out, this is something that we will be hoping to achieve in our album cover.

This is a more clean and detailed album cover compared to the one above. However it still uses the bright colours for the landscape such as orange and yellow. The composition of this cover is very central and all attention is drawn to the central image. We will be wanting to create something similar to this in terms of being very simple and clean.

This album cover is completely different and uses very dark grungy colours. It looks like it has a rough texture and the image of a little girl and a large dog gives it an aspect of surrealness. However it does use bright striking colours with the green lines.

This isnt something that we are particularly going to use for inspiration too much however it does have an aspect of surrealness. It also uses a very central composition which we will be using. It uses a dark and simple colour scheme sticking to the greyish brown colour. The font at the top is also quite spherical which can relate to the spinning world we are using in our video and the lyrics "Ill take your brain to another dimension" which suggests another world.

This album cover by the prodigy is also very central and uses bright solid colours. It is also surreal as they have created a face using several features that arent usually on a face. The pink and red stand out a lot in this image and provide solidarity to the image.
