Why I chose the Album Artwork I made?

When making my album art I just spontaneously came up with the idea one day during a media lesson where I thought that I would add codes which represent the band as well as their chosen genre of music. This meant that I had to explore different backgrounds so I thought I would conduct my research on Google Images where I could view different possible backgrounds. I then stumbled an image of space which intrigued me as I thought of the different codes that could possibly be related. One was that I could use this as code for the chosen genre of music being universal/global as well as adding to the anonymous theme of the band as space is mysterious, full of curiosity.
It then hit me that I could add to the idea of the chosen genre of music being global by incorporating Disco Balls as the planets within the background also coding for the genre of music being global. As the theme was very scientific, it lead to my name of the album being 'Quantum Physics'. Another thought came to mind when thinking about space and that was the Spaceman coding for artificial like the music as it is created through mostly software and technology. I also wanted to bring balance to the Album Artwork where I could introduce a code for a natural feel as the music is also original and naturalistic so I incorporated butterfly wings onto the spaceman creating my own mini logo for the band in which the audience could identify the band by. Therefore to conclude the evaluation of my album art, I feel that it has been made to relate in context to the genre of the music as well as keep a consistent theme with my magazine advert.
