Album covers i like and that work in creating a Star image

I think that this cover is particularly successful in the way that it draws attention. The bold and colourful image on the front are eyecatching. It would be useful when desigining our cover to note that, in order to sell in shops it has to stand out form the competition and i tihnk that Sam Sparros cover succeeds in that respect. The different colours themselves suggest that it is a new and vibrant album, and the style of shot and sunglasses show the genre is somewhat undefinable but is part of the new wave of music.







This Blink 182 cover is similar to the sort i think our group should use. It consists of just the band logo, which creates a strong image that will be associated with the band. It could be particularly useful for our project as we are launching a new band. The song we are using ( Cobra Starship - I kissed a Boy ) has many controversial elements, the video in particular we intend to. If this is accompanied by an enigmatic album cover it could receive far more attention from the press, and overall more coverage and a stronger sense of identification for the group which would have a logo, that could be applied to merchandise, and other commerical interests providing a larger and more successful fan base, and more profits.
