More research

So these are the covers for the albums Tegan and Sara have released so far.

This is the cover for their first album, "Under Feet Like Ours", released in 1999. It contains the song "Divided".


This is the cover for their album "This Business Of Art", released in 2000 (And my favourite T&S album ^_^)


This is the cover for their album "If It Was You", released in 2002.


This is the cover for their album "So Jealous", released 2004. This album contained the single "Walking With a Ghost", later covered by The White Stripes:




This is the conver for their 2007 release, "The Con".

This is the cover for their latest release, entitled "Sainthood", which came out just a couple of weeks ago.

These covers are going to set a good example from my own work. I like that they don't make the band being on the cover a necessity, if they can instead use a relavant peice of photography or art work. I also found the original video for "Walking With a Ghost" really interesting:



It uses the same little red felt hearts that are on the album cover. I think important to keep a motif common with the album cover and the video, and it's definitely something I'll bear in mind for my project.

  1. nice big post here jo but a bit more analysis of the covers would be useful. discussion on their style, typography, framing, colour, effects, content, what you hope to include or avoid. same for the video - being more specific in terms of close textual analysis.
