Band: Taking Back Sunday Album: Louder NowOn this cover it is presenting the album as if it is a movie that people are going to see as it is set in a booth that you usually buy cinema tickets from. This gives the album an individual look. However the face of the person appears to be covered giving it the mysterious, grim look that the other alternative rock music bands seem to have. There is the use of dark colours as well, especially the red.
Band: Madina Lake Album: Attics to Eden This album cover shows what appears to be fictional characters standing next to a lake. I found that from researching this that this album follows a particular story line and that the album cover reflects it. The characters shown appear to be fantasy like. I found an interview with the lead signer of this band on a website, when questioned about this album cover he says 'Attics to Eden is in reference to the individual’s quest for psychological refuge in a world that is moving too fast for human evolution. It’s about the how we feel the journey to utopia begins and ends in the mind, regardless of the outside landscape.' After finding this the images shown on the album cover become more clear, however i think they wanted the meaning to be less clear so people could think about it themselves as you can draw up many meanings from it. It also comes across fairly grim, not just with the meaning but the colours used and the weather shown on the album cover.
This is good. Again, a look at the back cover would be useful. Also a discussion on fonts would be good and help influence your design.
