Powerpoint Presentation of my favourite CD covers and reasons why.

1. I like the Idea of the band being enclosed by scribbles and the black and white effect on the photo makes them look like a scribble themselves which I think is really effective because it shows the randomness and also aggression due to the font chosen for the scribbles. I may chose to use scribbles and doodles in my magazine cover This cover seems to incorporate both photo and cartoon as there is a picture of a man which seems to have been photoshopped to look like a cartoon I like this effect because it sort of resembles a link between reality and imagination. This cover also has two pictures blended together with diagonal lines striking across causing a faint but effective streaking across the cover which I think I could use in my magazine design. The lines also correspond with the logo which I think would be a good feature for a magazine. I like the concentration on one colour in this photo which pin points the lolly giving a cheeky tone to the CD cover. I like this photo most as the focus on the singer and blur of the rest of the band gives a good effect of highlighting the important and standing out from the crowd. I would definitely consider this technique in my magazine design.

2. I like this CD cover because the concentration is on the text and a small simplistic photo is effective drawing more attention to the band name and album name In contrast to the “My Chemical Romance” CD cover.. This cover has simple text and concentration is on the picture of two bears this shows a rebellious and aggressive side to the band. This CD Cover is striking because it has lots of things going on. Lots of detailed and random pictures across the cover create a random mood in the intricate frame design drawn around it. The title “pretty odd” is reflected in the cover and the title is the most noticeable part of the cover. I like the image used for this cover lined paper with what looks like a coffee stain on it. I like the idea that the cover was just scribbled on a bit of scrap paper which I believe reflects the bands spontaneity. This cover has a really unique and surreal image on their cover this represents the bands uniqueness and alternativeness of their music.
