I've recently spent a lot of time on my ancillaries, and created some drafts to see what kind of direction I want to go in. While originally I liked the idea of having the album art as a stand-alone piece of photography with the band-name over, I'm beginning to think that the album art should have the band on. Having the band on the cover will help make them recognisable, and seem more 'real' to the audience. They'll feel like they're closer to the band. With a particularly "arty" album cover, people may think the band are pretentious, so I have to try and make the art good while avoiding making the band look bad.
