Rammstein are typically a heavy metal band, so it seems fitting that the background is black as in corresponds to the genre of music that the band play
Neil Halstead is a very similar musician to Jack Johnson in many respects, just not as mainstream. He surfs and plays the acoustic guitar and sings in a very mellow fashion. Similar to Jack Johnson he surfs, which is apparent in the cover of this CD cover.
This is a typical ‘electro/house’ CD cover, it uses an aesthetically pleasing font amongst bright colours which again appeal to the target audience, which in my mind would be people aged 17-25. The streaks of colour that spread diagonally across the cover represent strobe lighting, not uncommon within a nightclub or music festival dance tent, where this genre of music will be played. The fact that Ministry of Sound is printed on the top left of the cover illustrates its quality as it is a recognised brand of music. The contrast of the black background and the white font is apparent, and is something that the audience will notice almost straight away.
Jimi Hendrix is an iconic and ‘god-like’ figure to some people in many respects. So it seems fitting to have him portrayed over a desert background as a ghost like figure. As in effect that is what he is, a man who has made more money dead than alive. The lack of text on the CD cover is typical of many covers, but in this respect no text is needed due to Hendrix’s face on the front. Fans of his music will be able to identify it straight away because of this. The background of a red rising sun represents one of his songs, as well as the purple theme (Purple Haze), it almost comes across as quite a religious picture. Due to the nature and beauty of the photo, which again is fitting as Jimi Hendrix can be seen as a God to many people.
This is one of the most iconic CD covers of all time. Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the moon album cover has inspired millions of posters stuck up alongside streets and households alike. In fact if you were to show this to people the chances are they would recognise the album cover rather than the Band itself. The black background contrasted against the rainbow or spectrum of colours is as contrasting as you can possibly get. The small amount of text at the top right corner of the CD cover is irrelevant in many respects as because people recognise the picture, they may already know what the CD is.
Here the contrast of red and blue is the first thing the audience will notice as they pick up the CD. It takes up the majority of the cover, with a small amount of text at the top of the CD. At first, one would assume that this cover meant nothing to fans of Red Hot Chill Peppers, however, now it is a recognised image across the world of music.
The image of a mouth and sticking out tongue is an iconic trademark of The Rolling Stones. Millions of Rolling Stones memorabilia is sold across the world with this trademark on, which gives the purchaser a clear indication as to what the CD is. The colour scheme is important as it will also appeal to the target audience of young people as well as hardened Rolling Stones fans.
