OUDG406 - Studio Brief 1 - Secret 7 - Further Inspiration

Further album cover inspiration has come from my iTunes library. Jamie xx has designed his album cover which is heavily related to colour schemes, each individual song in his album also has a single cover which uses colour to represent it based on the songs type, mood and emotions.

'Though Jamie xx's In Colour album cover is minimal and reminiscent of his previous LP and single covers, he explained its poignant meaning in an interview earlier this year. He says, "I design all my stuff, so I ended up designing the album cover for In Colour. I wanted to have a spectrum of colors to represent all the records I put out previously, and because the album has a lot of different shades on it.” He adds that there is a connection to The xx’s artwork, as well: “I also wanted to have black and white in there, so the flip side of the vinyl is gonna be a black logo, and the frontside is white. That represents the two The xx albums. Romy designed the 'x' for The xx, and I just made one leg of the 'x' for my artwork. It's quite simple."
