Florence and The Machine

This is Florence and the Machines first album called Lungs. In the photo the lungs are place on the singers body underneath a lace dress. This is so that it stand outs to the audience.

The typography of the artist’s name is presented in a floaty manner, giving the impression the album is calm and summery feel.

The background is of birds and flowers which follow the theme of summer. There are also bright colours to tie in with the summery feel.

The image is of the singer this shows that she wants to seen as her own brand identity

This will attract audiences ad to how different it is from other cd covers in this genre of music, also to the use of props and around the image.

The Kooks

This is a CD cover of the kooks for their third album Konk. In this image they show the band in an entrance to a club.

The have used bright florescent blue to show the title of the album, which stand out from the dark background. The album

cover itself is simple yet still relates to their target audience and genre of music type.

The image of the band also stands out in the cover as they are a popular band and are recognisable to their fan base, this means they don’t need to concentrate on big text to show the name of the album and band.

Green Day This is a cd cover design of Green Day’s American Idiot. The use of colours and text is very striking and fits in with their target audience and genre of music which is rock

People will be attracted to the grenade heart as it is their logo for their band, and striking in the use of colour they have used as it is behind a darker background to stand out.

The typography used in this cd cover looks very rustic and old, also it seems to tie in with the grenade and they look like bullet shots in some of the letter. It again stands out from the dark background.

Overall the cd cover is simple in the way it is presented as there is an equal amount of text to visuals. Making it eye catching to viewers.

Nicola Roberts

This is a cd cover of Nicola Roberts first solo album Cinderella Eye’s. The image of the singer is shown in the cd cover to appeal to her audiences.

The images around the cd cover seem cluttered of house essential, to relate to the name of her album as she may resemble ‘Cinderella’

The use of colours are bright and are mostly pink which shows the singer’s girly personality.

There is very little typography presented in this cd cover, which shows that the target audience is to a much younger audience.

Also the singer’s hair stands out from the white background which may represent a statement towards her unique hair colour.
