Album Cover Analysis (Album 1)

This album cover is only very basic, it doesn't really have any form of imagination, it doesn't neccesarily strike out at you when you look at it. However it does have a very orginal feel to it. Most Kaiser Chiefs album covers are very similar, they don't have much detail in them.

Subject- It is obvious that majority of the album artwork goes on the positioning, font, colours angles etc. There isn't a lot of detail within the cover, therefore it does look very amateurish.
Artist- There isn't a picture of the band on the album cover, however the focal point of the artwork is the band name.
Composition- It is vitally important that the artwork is eye catching for any potential buyers. Therefore the fonts, colours, sizes etc have to be spot on.
Font- The font on the album comes across very basic, it is important that any fonts on album artworks are simple yet effective, which this one is.
Colour and Lighting- The colour is the crucial decision on an album artwork. On this artwork, the black is the main colour on the album, but with the correct blend of yellow. and hints of white on the outside of the cover it helps it become more eye-catching.
