The main influence was the idea that the album and advert were to give off an air of artiness and that made me draw upon an artist and try to emulate his style as a shout out to fans of the band who may be familiar with his work. I decided to go with the impressionist Manet and tried to make the album photos as blurry and abstract in such a way to appear akin to a Manet painting.
The dull colours of the album create the melancholic atmosphere the musicians music and would be quintessential of the genre.
The combination of muted colours and Manet, impressionist style photography has created an atmosphere appropriate for the music.
