Album Cover

We have been asked to create an album cover, either shot in the same style as the photographer or artist responsible for the original cover or as an alternative cover. I plan to carry out some research into different album covers using my own music library for inspiration as I think I will be more comfortable working with music I know because it would help me to think about what I want my images to connote and how I want them to relate to the music should I choose to shoot an alternative cover rather than recreating an original cover.
