Research into CD/DVD Covers

Hilltop Hoods album art.



This artwork uses a basic drawn image that directly relates to the name of the album, for instance the album is called "The hard road" And the image is of one person walking down a long road. This shows that the album is going to be telling the story of some sort of artist on a journy through life. This shows that the band are an original band according to Negus because its not something a synthetic band would sing about.

There is also a scribble at the top right of the CD cover that has a black banner running behind it (on the top of the image) This is to make the name of the album and the scribble stand out. The scribble shows what kind of genre the cd is because its very hip hop style font.

In comparison

Here is one of Blink 182's album art.



You can see that instead of the black sinister background it has a white background, perhaps to show that there are no serious issues raised in the album and this is backed up by the image on the album art.


The picture of a smiley face imply this as well, it shows that the album is intended to be fun and have no serious meaning. How ever that doesnt make them a synthetic band, maybe that is what the artist wants to express, teenage fun? Teenage rebelion? Non the less this band isnt synthetic as they have been making music for many years now and its been along time since their first single.
