Album Covers

This post will show a number of album covers from a range of artists that link to my artist and music video.

The first image shown below is the album cover of the Kooks 'Inside In Inside Out'. This is a very basic design but is very effective. The cover shows the band with their instruments which could indicate they are performing or getting ready to perform. This is shown on a plain white background without anything spectacular on the cover. This means that all of the focus is on the band which is a very effective technique which i may use for my album cover.


The next album cover which is shown below is the Kings of Leon album 'Only by the Night'. This design is very unusual and unlike the Kooks it is not a simple and plain cover. The cover is split into four sections to show a part of the face of each of the four band members. However this also is integrated with what seems to be an owl to fit with the title 'Only by the Night'. It is highly unlikely that I will be using this sort of design and mine will show the band members but with a basic yet professional outlook upon them.


The next album cover shown below is of the killers album 'Day & Age'. The album cover for this is an unusual abstract design but again clearly displays the title of the album and the name of the band. The background has a range of colours with the bottom half showing bright colours such as yellow and orange with it getting darker and it appearing to be in the moonlight with darker colours used such as purple and black with stars also shown around the moon.
