In order to come up with ideas for an album cover, I looked through various album covers from artists of all sorts of genres mainly because even if artists have different styles and create music from different genres, they can still appeal to similar target audiences, thus designing similar artwork to attract that audience.

In the top right corner, the band is present but the overall style is quite busy and eccentric colours which I think would create an interesting and unique vibe.
