Analysis of CD cover pack

Nizlopi

Straight away from the front cover image that is shown I can tell that clearly by the image on the front it is the single for Nizlopi the JCB song. This is shown by the animated picture of the band singer Luke as a child in his dad’s JCB. And of course the name of the band up the top. This look of lines where the name goes gives it that childhood look which you might find on a child’s school book where they have to put their name. Also the fact that you can see it is a picture and then cello taped to a piece of lined paper shows the audience that it is possibly a memory that the band are sticking down. Knowing that the JCB song is about Luke’s past and his relationship with his dad helps specify that this cover is meant to look as if Luke had done it when he was a child telling a personal story.

Then when you look into the CD you can see obviously the CD and also the inside cover. From what you can make out on the inside cover you can see the two band members Luke and john. As you can see within the photograph it’s of them playing a song, Luke with his acoustic guitar and john with his double base. This represents clearly what type of music they produce just from the image. The reason for this is because their music is on the lines of folk/indie music and what better way than with folk and indie instruments, the double bass as a folk instrument and the acoustic guitar as indie. Also on the inside cover you can again see the animated drawing of Luke in the JCB which links to the fact that it is their single for “the JCB song”. Below the images are the names of the songs on the single. These are The JCB song and also a song called clear. This tells me that Nizlopi have made a new song and are also trying to promote that song through the use of this single. Then lastly an image of their album coming out next year. This has the impact of trying to promote their new music further. The CD as you can see though is quite

plain with just the title of the song and the band’s name.

Then lastly on the back you have a see through case but on the side again they have the song on the track but at the same time an image of a robot transformer on a cloud. In the music video of “the JCB song” there is a scene where you see a transformer flying and also the lyrics say about how Luke wants to transform. SO this touch at the back links in nicely to the point of the song and the CD cover which bases around Luke’s imagination as a child and is portrayed through images of transformers and JCB’s.
