ANALYSING CD COVERS (CONOR MAYNARD) (ALBUM)

Analysing/Planning The Front Of A CD Cover (Conor Maynard)

The Front of the CD cover has a central image, the artist’s name and album/single name printed.

In this image he in not facing the camera, which is what he usually does on his front covers, maybe suggesting that he is a shy guy.

The genre of this album can easily be recognised because of what he is well known for. However, if a different audience saw this CD cover, they may think the CD is a R&B CD. This is because he is dressed in a hoody, and hoodies are normally associated with R&B or hip-hop artists even.

The lettering fits in with the genre of music, which is electro-pop as the font is not electrifying compared to Kesha and Lily Allen’s cd covers, it is plain and bold, and giving off a sense that his music is simple and music that stands out because of the boldness.

Also, the font colour is white, maybe suggesting he is an angelic, innocent and humble young man.

The font colour of the album name is yellow, which may have been used so that the buyers can easily recognise the album name.

The image that is on the front cover of the cd is a photograph of Conor Maynard. He is dressed in typical casual wear of a young humble teenager. The hoody, suggesting he is in his teens, and the leather jacket showing he is fashionable too. He has scruffy hair like Kesha does on her front cover, giving off that sexy young look.

It would have the name of the artist and the name of the album on the spine. The back cover would have the list of publishers and producers, music label written and his official website. Also, a list of the songs on the album.

The Front of the CD cover has a central image, the artist’s name and album/single name printed.

This album cover is similar to the one shown on the previous slide. The few things that differ are: he is crouching down, and you can see his trainers on this cover.

The image that is on the front cover of the cd is a photograph of Conor Maynard. He is dressed in typical smart and casual wear of a young humble teenager. He is wearing a shirt and tie which make him look smart, however he is also dressed in black jeans and colourful fashionable shoes. He appears as a shy person as he is not facing the camera.

Once again, the lettering fits in with the genre of music, which is electro-pop, as the font is simple and bold.

The image that is on the front cover of the cd is a animation of Conor Maynard. This cd cover seems to differentiate from the other cd covers, as it does not have a photograph of Conor Maynard, and instead it is a plain blue image of his body shape.
