Layout of Album Cover and Advert

The initial design of my advert and cover is a polaroid layout. I want the image to look like it's an old fashioned polaroid image to portray the mood of the album. It has that old-fashioned acoustic sound to it. There will be an image of a girl with the hands over her eyes and chin with 'Gabrielle' written on one hand and 'Aplin' on the other. On the magazine advert there will be information on the album name and features of the digipak. This information will be written on the border of the polaroid. I am currently creating a mock advert on paper but I will upload this as soon as it's finished.

Ideas for Magazine Advert

I want the magazine advert to have the same image as the digipak cover so that people are able to recognise the artist's cover easily. I want the images to be mysterious to suit the music and it needs to fit the indie/acoustic genre. Here are some images, courtesy of weheartit.com that show the mise-en-scene and just the general image that I want to create.





It will have an old vintage camera look to it as I feel this fits in well with the genre. The models face will be hidden not only to create that mystery but also because I can't use Gabrielle Aplin herself. I don't want the target audience to think that the model on the cover is Gabrielle Aplin.
