CD covers ideas and thoughts
Good CD cover ideas
Powderfinger Vulture street is a very good simple artist design sticking to a simple range of colours to make the colours used more eye catching. I like the more important effects not being out of black and white image for instance the teal tears being cried by the black and white face. However I personally don’t like the effect of the pink dots across the CD cover as I feel it just takes away from the simple clear-cut style of the CD cover. Although the pink dots are quite eye catching and I can understand if they were used for this reason. Lost Prophets liberation transmission I also quite like Mainly the thick text of the band prioritising them over the album cover. Along with the name of the album liberation transmission in a almost cartography text I really enjoy how the artist has boarded it and how its arty yet clear. The symbol in the centre of the CD case I thoroughly like because how it keeps in theme with just black and white also how it its quite an innovative piece akin to medieval heraldry. I don’t like the blood effects spattered over the CD cover, as it just seems to make it a mess over something, which is very well designed and thought up. One I particularly dislike is Johnny cash’s CD cover its very simple but just to plain or eye catching when you look at the lack of colour and imagery. It merely advertises that Johnny Cash is the artist too with no further information about the songs or Album clearly Johnny must believe that he himself as the brand can sell CDs. I’m not saying he can’t use just his brand to sell his CDs, but wouldn’t it be better to catch a new buyer rather than a loyal one with eye catchy well designed interesting cover?
