Album Covers

First attempt:

Front I edited the colours of each print to relate to the message of the modernised title of the song, as well as it's original history. I chose a bold capitalised font which mirrored that of political protest banner, which are clear thick and bold to be seen. I used black to highlight the contrast between the original title and that which I changed. 

The purple here represents royalty, and the orange the colour of the 'tangerine', which signifies Trump

The vibrant red represents blood splatters, to emote the killing and blood shed. The beige background is meant to symbolise an off skin tone, beige is the 'normal, mundane, everyday, ordinary, bland' it's standing for equality.  
The colours for this cover represent an army style camouflage palette, which is relevant to the idea of war and militarisation 




Back 
The back cover's show the history of the song, when it was originally released and it's relationship with the current political situation. Being from era's like the 60s, 70s and 90s where there was much political upheaval, it presents us as entering a new era of the same issues we've been through before. Each design ends with a review, promoting the actual music and lyrics of the song itself - it's impact on the protester.
