1. Album Cover First Draft Analysis- How does the cover fit the Psychedelic rock genre?
The use of bright colours reflects the ideology of
the genre. As the genre is influenced by the
psychedelic culture and the attempts to enhance
mind-altering experiences caused by psychedelic
drugs- the colours represent hallucinations and
in general the colourfulness of the genre.
Hypnosis
imagery can
draw you in-
again reflecting
the genre.
The font of the writing is quite unusual and
interesting and suits the psychedelic rock genre.
For example you would not see this kind of font on
the front cover to a pop album, instead you would
have something more bold, modern and fun.
What's interesting about the use of
the heart on the front cover is that
it reflects the fact that psychedelic
rock influence the style of
psychedelic soul music. Therefore
the idea of 'soul' music came the
idea of a heart.
The use of
bright colours
is also a good
way of
attracting
people's
attention. As
the front cover
of an album is
the first thing
a person see's
when buying
an album
therefore it
may help with
the purchase
of the product.
