My Favourite Album Art

• The album art has a lot of different things going on in one image.• Its very colourful which attracts my attention, and the drawing effect makes it more creative.• ‘GREENDAY’ is in a big font which immediately attracts my attention. The nuclear explosion behind it creates the explosive image of the band.• The text looks handwritten and childlike which suggests the album is funny and childish. • The album name is in red and lower case at the bottom of the cover, this makes it clear that it’s the album name.• The drawings on the cover suggest the target audience would be teenage boys and young men, this is because they’re quite aggressive images and have a lot of boy humour.• Greenday are more of a rock band, but I think this album art has more of an indie feel to it as it is hand drawn.• This also has comedic values to it, which would be quite appropriate for our Regina Spektor track.

Greenday - Dookie

• The plain background attracts my attention to the four cartoon images. These images are quite demon—like figures, so this relates to the title of the album “Demon Days”• The ‘Gorillaz’ are an electronic band, so the use of cartoon characters adds to the illusion of the band.• This is similar to the Beatles ‘let it be’ album, as all four of the people are facing the same direction.

Gorillaz – Demon Days

Oasis – (What’s the story) Morning

Glory?•This album is a very simple idea, a picture of two men passing eachother in the street.•The bands name is clearly presented in the bottom corner•The title doesn’t really stand out, however I think this makes you have to try to read it.•The location brings the bands identity back as being local boys.• The location is Soho in London, which is the entertainment district, which has lots of record shops and music bars.
