OUGD503 Secret 7 - Research
It was appropriate to look into artists who use a similar aesthetic for research for Secret 7. This gives a good basis for the designs and will expand your knowledge by seeing successful designers who used these themes and aesthetic. I have chosen my favourite artists to use within my research as I feel all these styles are relevant
Neil Krug is a an artist/photographer who has worked with numerous music artists to produce their covers. I have also been a fan of Krug's work but I never realised he also produced album covers as well, his work seems to be very suiting to the artists who I listen to and who he produces for, such as Tame Impala and The Horrors. His work has a washed out, sunny element to his work which really suits the combination of layers and textures which he uses which often replicate the sound of the artists he produces for.
Shae DeTar
Although Shae DeTar does not produce album artwork herself, she also an artist I admire and who's style has similar elements to Krug's work as well. Shae DeTar creates otherworldly photographic prints, combining photography and painting to take her subjects out of reality and place them within her etherial world. DeTar shoots analog and digital photographs and then adds layers of paint to exaggerate color, create texture, and add an element of fantasy to the image. I believe DeTar's style would also work well on album covers as well, and her way of producing work is one which I would also love to try out in the future.
Leif Podhajsky
After looking at different artists suggested to us on eStudio, Podhajsky was an artist who I immediately fell in love with. His work has a similar aesthetic to both Krug and DeTar, but I think I actually find Podhajsky's work more appealing. His work explores themes of connectedness, the relevance of nature and the psychedelic experience. By utilizing these subjects he attempts to inspire the viewer into a realignment with themselves and their surroundings.
