CD covers








This is the single of 'bad day' this links to the music video as one it shows the artist looking how he does in the music video with iconic hat he wears. Also this CD cover shows me something different as not all covers have the artist on the front but this one does which could show it depends on the genre of music or in this case the different genre of pop. The colour of the CD cover is very similar to the artist eye very mild green which is an idea with one of the paramore album cover as it plays withe lead singers hair colour, but also the green background is dark which can link to the subway scene in the video but also its dark because of having a bad day but the light green shows it can get better which links to the story of the video. Furthermore, the artist is unshaven to show that he is normal and hes not a glamorous celebrity type which is again shown in the music video, but he still doesn't look untidy but shows that he is just a normal person average work person doing something he likes doing. The font on CD cover is exactly the same to show that this is the artists font style and that the the title of the song is in the exact same as the artist font style to show that that song and music is his but also shows that song means something to him.





This is the album cover and this album has the 'bad day' song and it really shows as this is the shot of the artist in the subway which is shown in the music as he blends in with the people and his surroundings showing he is just a normal person. The facial expressions of the artists are similar on both CD covers as it shows the artist is mysterious but can also show that his songs have a deeper meaning to them.The colouring of the album cover is very similar to the first as its a dim yellow/green light and makes the artist blend in with the subway and links with his clothes as well as he is wearing a green top and again wearing his hat showing this is the artists thing and his hat also becomes his calling card and so you automatically know who it is. The artists type of clothing is very casual and very normal no glitter or designer suits or showing any flesh top attract female attention he is just being true to himself and not trying to show things off.The font style is also the same of before highlighting me point about it linking back to the artist but on this CD cover he has a logo this time which are his initials to again show its his music and something else that links back to him.
This is completely different from the other two covers as he has changed his look which maybe due to the fact that times had changed and this cover is more modern and up to date as it really shows through his clothing and effects used on the cover. However the artist is still wearing is hat but the hat is very different from before its more stylish and up to date. The scene behind him could relate back to one of his songs is located there or its his home town which can link to the other CD covers as its a every day location just like this one. The font of the artist as changed to something very different which can show that the he is trying to be more modern and keep up with the times but it could be that he has changed his music maybe a little more darker or different genre of pop and shows that the genre of music can be seen on the cover and that the genre of music comes with some conventions. However the cover still doesn't show any glamorous lifestyle just an average person which is shows on all three covers and shows even though he has a changed a little bit he is still promoting this image of being yourself and that anyone can do something they dream of doing.
