CD cover research




These are scouting for girls CD covers and there are many links between them first link between them all is they use the same font style is used for the band name and the name of the album/single to show that its there piece of music and links heavily with the band. Another common feature between the three covers is that they have the same pencil effect to again to show its unique only to this band and they use it on all three of the covers, its also very simple idea and effect as it makes the covers stand from other artists as these may follow a trend unlike this covers here, can also show that the band is more about the music and the gimmicks. There is also only one colour used on the covers and just a different colour shade/tone to one relate it to title of the CD like the 'heartbeat' cover its red to link with the heart also shows that the albums aren't complicated to show that they just enjoy music and promotes a good image of the band as it shows they are more interested in making music they like. Something that also links these covers together is that they all use images that relate to their title as 'heartbeat' shows an ambulance worker with a red cross to link with idea of the heart. The 'she so lovely' shows a pretty and young woman to link with song as its all about a girl and that the girl in the image looks similar to the girl in the video for that particular song. The top cover is a picture of two boys searching which links with the word 'scouting' and this also links with the band as its a male band and this links with idea of the band is searching. In my opinion I really like these covers as they are very easy on the eye but can also attract attention and it almost looks like its been hand drawn which shows a modern yet contemporary style which heavily links with bands actual music.Its simple idea but very effective. This could be Incorporated into my cover or poster and an idea that I may consider in my products.
