CD Covers

Since my artist is a 4 piece band, I want all 4 of them to appear on the cover so I thought I would find some examples of bands similar to mine which have all of the members on the front covers:

I like how on this cover it is a freeze frame of one of the members opening a bottle of champagne which shows the liquid firing out which normally would happen to fast to be noticed. Also, I like how they have used the effect to make the pictured band grey so they match the title and album name text.



On this album cover of Busted, my favourite part and the most predominate factor is the image. I like how the main image is taken from quite a high angle so as a group they are looking up at it. Also, I like how the band are looking straight down the camera and the member at the back is pointing. i think this works from how it engages the viewer with the cover.

When looking at this album cover the first bit that I notice that I like is how they use brown as their background colour which usually a band would not do but they make it work. Also, I like how the image makes it look like the band are exploding out of the centre of the cover which is added too by the squiggles around the sides. Finally, I like how the images of the band members look as if they have been cut out of a magazine and stuck on the cover which makes it look like a piece of rough work which I think makes it work unconventionally in a good way.nb

I like this Razorlight album because of the simplicity of it. I think it still expresses the band without needing more then the header and simple pictures of each band member. If I was to use something like this for my album, I wouldn't have my band dressed so smartly even though by that I just mean that I think that two of the members are wearing blazers which I would consider to be too smart for my band.
