Album Design

For my album, I decided to take 8 very guitar heavy songs that have inspired me throughout my life. I've played guitar for more than half my life and these 8 songs were some of the biggest influences on my style and even starting to play. The album name I think should be “Guitar Greats,” as it is a simple name but tells what the album will be about and still being catchy and memorable. The design for the cover I plan to make is simple. I plan to have an image of a guitar at roughly a 45 degree angle with the word Guitar above and Greats below it. The back will have the titles and durations of the songs. The inner 6 pages of the booklet will feature the 6 songs which have lyrics and their lyrics and relevant images and credits. The 8 songs I chose for the album are:

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica,

Lewis and Clark by Tommy Emmanuel,

Classical Gas by Tommy Emmanuel,

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin

November Rain by Guns N’ Roses,

Beggars and Hangers On by Slash and Myles Kennedy,

Havana covered by Kfir Ochaion, and

Blue on Black covered by Smith and Myers.
