CD Cover Analysis (KC)

For the CD Cover, I have looked at MKTO's cover for inspiration.

This Cover is very simple, it just consists of a neutral background. This could connote to the fact that the music and artists appeals to a wide range of audience; attracting more fans and revenue. Another thing this Cover implicates is the image of the two and the artists name (which is distinctive in between the letters K and T). This gives the effect that the boys drew out their initials and left the outline of the sparkler, which can be interpreted in many ways. One of which is that there names are illuminated as a show sign, similar to those in the 1920's. Furthermore, this could also connote to the band's fiery passion for music.

As the two artist appear on the CD Cover, it is evident that the genre this band belongs to is Pop. Most Pop musicians/ artist's face will appear on the CD Cover, to make it obvious as to who the audience will be buying.

These few examples are all derived from Pop. The females in the CD Covers make no eye contact, whereas the males are looking directly at the camera/ audience. As we are using a Pop, the CD Cover will need to fit the genre conventions. All of these match the rule of thirds, in the MKTO Cover the head and shoulder are located in the top thirds. The middle third is the band name, which is the largest and most attractive aspect of this CD Cover.
