This document lists 4 music albums and their artists: Arctic Monkeys' "Suck It and See", Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "It's Blitz", The Futureheads' "Rant", and an unlabeled CD.
This is one of my favourite covers due to the fact it’s simple and effective. I love the light pink/cream background as it’s subtle and not in your face, it’s calm and represents the arctic monkeys’ music.The title ‘Suck It And See’ is rather random, and sums up the band as a whole, the font it bold and chunky, this reveals a more masculine feel.The black writing compliments the background colour and looks effective as the writing stands out, once again, it’s not too trashy.(boarder added for presentation!)The band’s name is in the black circle in the left corner with white writing, these colours all match and look great. The cover appeals to the target audience which is Indie music. I think this cover is successful because it’s directed to the target audience effectively: indie.
This cover is random, but at the same time creative. This cover in my opinion is appealing due to the fact that it is different, and stands out, much like the yeah yeahyeahs music.The cover is suitable for both genders because the font selection is not to feminine or too masculine. All the colours in twine together and look great, the music which is indie is also pretty random and unique, so the band portray this through there album covers and choice of track names.(boarder used for presentation) The back ground colour, - white/grey is suitable for both genders and is subtle. White suggests peace, where as grey suggests plainness. The crushing of the egg most likely symbolises tension or anger, this is portrayed by the clenched hand and crushing of the egg.The colours of the egg stand out, and looks effective. Orange symbolises strength, where as yellow portrays weakness. Here, we get a mixed emotion.
This album cover is bold, in your face and eye catching. If you were to walk past this cover, it would stand out to you and draw you over.This is due to the fact that they have chosen an orange background, which obviously is a very bold, intensive colour.The album name ‘Rant’, most likely suggests there music in their opinion of ‘ranting away’, this is also suggested by the image of the speech bubble. The Futureheads have a unique style and they also portray this through there album covers and track listing.The black on the orange makes the boldness even firmer and looks very masculine, along with the style of font, the text is rather bold and thick, which would be most likely targeted towards the males. (boarder used for presentation) The bold orange background implies strength, I think this fits in well due to the text selection and it all contrasts well.
