This album cover of the police is a very simple but effective cover. We see the band name 'The Police' in big bold with a bright colour to catch the audiences attention in which everyone would know who the band is. Their star image of the band is authenticity and they are being sold as quite moody and real. This is something that we would like to incorporate into our band. The black background adds to the sense of realism about it as it makes it darker and infers that the music is also dark and serious.
This band 'Cream' are all wearing stereotypical 1960s outfit which is a silky silver suit, with top hats. In contrast, the black background adds to the sense of realism about it as it makes it darker and infers that the music is also dark and serious however we can see by their faces, clothes and 'jazz hands' dance moves that this is the opposite ti dark music.
In this album cover of motor head we can see how all the band members wearing the exact same outfit which is a stereotypical 1980s rock band outfit wearing all black with leather jackets and black jeans. We see the sense of rebellion in the way they are standing. This also looks like gun swingers from the West which adds to the authenticity of the band. The way that bands logo is over a 'Spade' adds that this is apart of their band logo. The fact that the name is small and the logo is big suggests that the image of the image of the band is vitally important.
From these different CD covers, I am gaining a sense of how I look like my bands album cover to look. Authenticity is essentially in creating a star image for our artists and the black backdrops represents a sense of seriousness and authenticity. I am also gaining a sense of where the band is standing in their covers as it creates a sense of cohesion within band members, this is something else I need to think about when doing my shoot for our CD cover. There are different colours and fonts which are helping us with choosing our idea.
