Album Cover Inspiration - Max

Artist: Mumford & Sons

Album Title: Wilder Minds

I like this album cover as it is very simplistic however could have deeper meanings. The name of the album 'Wilder Mind' goes well with the image of the bench looking out onto the city skyline at night. The styling of the name of the band and album name is subtle as the text is small yet as it is white on a dark background it stands out from the rest of the album cover.

The idea’s I may take from this album cover is the simplicity of it all as this will fit well with the band and song choice.

Artist: Johnny Cash

Album Name: American IV: The Man Comes Around

I like the look of this album cover as it is very simple but would stand out when on a shelf. The image of the man against the black background makes him stand out and suits the overall feel for the album. The bold white name of the album will mean that it will stand out compared to others as not many will go for this very simplistic layout.

The idea's I may take from this album cover is the large bold title on a solid colour background as I believe this would stand out well compared to others.

Artist: The Who

Album Name: Who's Next

I like this album cover as it shows the band all together in a rocky environment. This album cover is very different to many others as it is not a straight forward image of the band nor is it a designed piece, this makes it stand out from the rest and it will stick in somebodies memory when they see it. The name of the album is very faint and blends in with the background, this will have been a part of the design of the album, however, I feel that it should be bolder.

The concept I would take from this is the band being all together in an urban environment as I believe it would suit the look of the band.

Artist: The Ramones

Album Name: Ramones

I like this album cover as it shows the band together against a wall. This is similar to many other bands album art s it is common to have the band side by side against a wall or background. The size of the album name will draw the attention of any potential buyers, as it is white on a grey background, therefore it stands out. 

The concept I would take from this album art is having the band together side by side, also the use of black and white would go well with the tone of the band.
