Album name ideas and Album design inspiration

The original album name by the original song writers the 1975 was called 'The 1975' and the album cover looked like this:


I've had many different ideas for what I wanted to name the album since I have the band name with Buff Unicorn. The ideas I've had for album names are:
  • Dimension (giving a different 'dimension' metaphorically to indie music)
  • Infinity (endless playing music)
  • Lemniscate (meaning infinity, more indie name)
  • Generation (music for a generation)
  • Fascination (extremely interesting music)

I got people from my target audience to give me a vote on which one they thought would be the best album name and why:

  • Dimension - 3
  • Infinity - 5
  • Lemniscate - 11
  • Generation - 3
  • Fascination - 8

Why Lemniscate?
"Because it has another meaning and is very clever and it will attract audiences who are interesting it what it may mean."

Final Album Cover Name = Lemniscate

Album cover inspiration:

Justin Timberlake's 2013 album 'The 20/20 experience' is a very smart album cover
because he blurs out the image of himself and has two eye testers which are directed as if the audience could use them, also the use of black and white and then gold make the font stand out a lot more and make it much more appealing to someone when browsing albums.


Justin Bieber's 2012 album Believe won many different awards and topped the charts in over 50 countries, the reason this was such a good album cover was because of it's simplicity, it has nothing too flashy it's just an image of the artist ten the name of the artist and the album name, the use of black and white like with Justin Timberlake's means that any colour used makes it stand out, so in this album cover he uses a bright orange and yellow/gold to make it stand out.
