2. An array of colours is used in the picture apart from the building the 4 men are standing in connoting the simpleness and purity of their album, as well as the fact that they want to stand out from the crowd with their music. The 4 men are dressed in checked shirts, jeans, waistcoats etc which suggests a mellow vibe as well as an indie country feel to their music. Their slightly coloured clothes against the plainness of the building portrays they uniqueness. The album cover is plain and simple, with no violent or inappropriate images used, and gives off an everyday image, ‘what you see is what you get’ image. They are also holding instruments such as the cello and the ukulele, giving the audience and idea of the genre of their music. The font used is plain and simple except for the ‘&’ which gives the sign a handwritten feel connoting their uniqueness. The actual title ‘sigh no more’ describes this album to be calm and relaxing, and album someone might listen to after a stressful as it is an light a carefree album, like an end to a storm.
3. The font on the spine is capital letters in the same font as on the front. This makes it easier for people to find the CD on the shelf. The back is a plain wall with a slightly opened window which could possibly show that the band have escaped into the outside world and their music has become more recognised. The songs are listed on the back by name and in running order. The bands record label and distributors have placed their logos on the back of the album as well as on the spine so they can gain more recognition. The production details are written in very small print as it is not important to the buyers of the CD. The small print includes information about production as well as legal information and copyright.
