Dance music was very important to 70's and 80's culture. As our song is a dance track I was looking for something vintage as well as modern to combine, something which is very relative to our time.
Blondie had very successful albums and was a beautiful and well loved lady. This particular art work for her November '80 album makes her look thin, sexy and stylish. If we were to put something like this with our artist I think it would work really well as our song works with this fashionable retro era.
The elements to this artwork that I find most eye catching is the font, the city back drop, her blond hair, her jewelled crop top and not to mention the fact that its a drawn picture rather than a photograph and her pale slim features. The way she is leaning backwards onto the wall with her hair in the wind symbolises her sexuality. Her short blonde hair, although a very boyish look, represents her style and edgy look as well as her music. The font is particularly visually enticing because of its detached style as well as the fact that it is at the top of the picture highlights her importance. It also represents her femininity as it is in pink which is important to our artist as we wanted to set her up in a girly theme.
This album cover in particular is inspirational to me and I would like to create something similar.
