For the front of my album cover I was thinking of using this idea of shoe tossing, where people tie the shoe laces of their shoes together and throw them over a telephone line, trees or fences. This is a tradition in many American States and is done for many different reasons; for example it is done as a sport, to show someone has died or to show the completion of a stage in that persones life. For the cover I was going to use ballet shoes and have one smaller shoe for the young girl and then the bigger one to represent the other girl. Also included on the front will be the album title and artist name.
'In some neighborhoods, shoes tied together and hanging from power lines or tree branches signify that someone has died. The shoes belong to the dead person. The reason they are hanging, legend has it, is that when the dead person's spirit returns, it will walk that high above the ground, that much closer to heaven.'
My plan for the rest of the pannels is for them to have a similar theme.
