After viewing the literally titled first drafts, the group had to decide on which image to go with as the final choice. I at first pushed for using either the image titled "Some Kind Of Bird" or "Man On Bridge And Gloomy Weather" for the darker connotations which I felt fitted the genre, but after some thought, the group decided to use the "Rainbow Umbrella" image, in it's original colour rather than the black and white version, as it fitted with the sense of mystery we had introduced in the video by never showing the main character. Jobe got in contact with the artist of the image and gained her permission with the following messages:
Jobe:
Hey Mary,
I have a favor to ask.
As part of my college course, I'm required to produce a concept for an album cover. It would be fantastic if I would be able to get permission to use one of your pieces as the main artwork, namely "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".
Of course I fully understand if you want to refuse. I know someone asking this out of the blue probably seems a little strange.
But yeah, if you can get back to me with an answer as soon as possible, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks for your time.
Mary:
it is ok, you can use it
