CD cover analysis

Name of single
under name of
featured singer
I have decided to look at three
other Sigma CD covers to compare
with my chosen song. Sigma has a
unique style and therefore I chose
to only look at Sigma covers so I
could gather ideas to create the
most authentic cover possible. As
shown in the boxes around, I have
annotatedthe commonthemes and
featuresof a typical SigmaCD cover.
This CD cover is of my chosen song. Comparing this to the
others we can see commonthemessuchas the white writing
in bold, the artists namesbelow and the name of the single
below that. It also conforms to the idea of having featured
people onthe front but we cannot make out their faces. This
CD cover does not however, have a large empty location but
rather the people are locatedinfront of a redemption centre
which suggests that perhaps they have just visited it. The
name ofthe song is locatedonthe buildingandalso withinthe
white writing and therefore we caninfer that Sigma believes
stronglyandwants to promote redemption. Therefore, from
this I candecide that my CD cover will be set in a street or
place that promotes happiness.
