The Twang Album Cover

This is a cover which uses no images of the band, and is in this sense more enigmatic. The images used however overall create a strong sense of genre.

The images used are :

Fox - connotes the urban origins of the band , and simulatneously is used to show the band as talented with the fox being a symbol of a familiar animal possessed of magic powers so talent.

THe brown jacket - this is reference to the genre of music that the album is. The type of jacket is commonly worn by indie artists particulallrly Oasis , and it signifies the genre and also similar sound ( identifying with potential audience).

Birmingham Skyline - This image is an exclusive signifier of the bands heritage and roots being from birmingham, it as the potential to ecourage Birmingham indie music fans to purchase.

The flowering detials aoround the fox/jacket - This is a signifier of how the album is the bands first release, and their fanbase and popularity is just starting to flourish.

The bright orange and yellow colours - circled around the main image centralise the album and make it stand out from other indie albums.

Silihouette of Birds - Signify the and as new and spreading their wings in to the new music scene after being signed. Shows their music as un censored and truthful.

Decaying Text - Strengthens urban image being crfeated.
