Album Covers Research - 18/1/12

in this blog i will be looking at album covers from bands that are in the same genre of the band we are using in our music video. This first image below is from The Saturdays album. The image has a grey background which looks very sophisticated and the girls are also got all of the color taken out of them so its like a black and white film. The color is in the dresses which i believe is something that you are able to associate with the band so they have there own color which therefore means when the have merchandise that comes out each band member will have there own items using there own specific color so one member would have green and one would have blue.





below is the back cover from one of the bands albums. As you can see they still use the coulors which associate with each band member. It also has the band name and the album name on the side in a simple white text. there is all the songs that are included in the album Capital letters and in a black font which makes it stand out even more. Underneath the song names there is the barcode and all of the copyright information so that people can not burn it themselves and is has the record company name at the bottom. 

In the Image below there is a picture of the girls aloud album cover. It is quite similar to the saturdays cover however the images of the girls are more close up so you can see there facial expression. It has a simple white Title of the band name and then a Black album title all in capitals which puts more emphasis onto the album. The pictures of the girls are a literal image of the title as they are tangled in the rope which could give a message to certain people.  however in the front cover of the saturdays it seems like they are individuals as they all have there own colour associated to them whereas ni this cover they are as one and considered to be together and as one. 


Below is the back cover to the album which has a grey background with the white text which is also in capital letters. However it seems to cover more of the back cover which makes it more stand out and bolder. It also has the barcode and the copyright information.
