2. Main image
There is always a main image on a cd cover. Whether it’ s a photograph
of the artist or
Cartoons that give the music's style and genre. For example Mika is
bouncy and lively
music that’s why his album is so bright and colorful. While some artists
(usually pop)
have a photograph of themselves on the front.; particularly female
artists.
3. Artists name
There is ALWAYS the artists
name on the front of a cd
cover. This allows the
audience
not to only remember their eye
catching album cover but
the name with it too.
This element can be
challenged in some cd
covers if the artist doesn't
show their
whole name. However, this
allows fans to feel special
and included in this inner
circle.
4. Album name
This again in used in ALL albums. This says what songs are on the album and what they
are about, but
also creates an image for artist or band. Bon Jovi’s album “Greatest hits” tells the
audience that this is a
collection of her best songs. The type of font and the color helps illustrate the genre of
music. Such as
dark reds or blacks for rock; or pink and bubbly for pop music.
5. Bands will often have their own logo’s that goes with them whatever
they do like
concerts and music video adverts. This makes it easier for fans and the
audience in
logo
general that whenever they see that logo, the band isn’t that far behind
either.
