CD Cover Analysis (Front)


The name of the artist on the CD covers is Justin Timberlake. The cover on the top shows a person's head at the bottom of the picture, which immediately draws people's attention to it, and with the whole face covered and only the eyes showing, it creates a sense of mystery, as his facial expressions are not shown. The colour of the picture is black and white, which creates a sense of old style, and with a hat used in these pictures, it would be similar to our concept. The font used at the top picture is "Times New Roman" this looks formal, which relates to the theme of the CD cover, as he is wearing a suit. In both of the pictures, Justin Timberlake has his hand on his hat, which would be percieve as cool. The person at the bottom picture is at the centre, which also makes him stand out in the picture. With the pose he is doing and the clothes he is wearing, he looks like an important man.


The name of the artist on these CD covers is Michael Jackson. The cover at the top is called "Blood On The Dance Floor", which looks like it had been written in blood, creating a sense of creepiness and mystery. The person is at the bottom left of the picture and there is a shadow of him on the wall striking his pose, making him a predominant figure. The picture at the bottom shows the person's face covered by the hat, again creating mystery. The "King Of Pop" is in yellow and "Michael Jackson" is in white, making both of the writting stand out. The background of the cover is red, which makes the whole cover more eye catching.

Overall, having analysed the CD covers, we have learned that the main character is at the centre of attention, and the writing needs to be eye catching, big and clear to read.
