Analysing Band Images.

Analysing band images like posters and CD covers in terms of representation for target audience.


This image is brightly coloured, abstract and simple. The basic fonts and image make it a plain yet eye catching design. I think this appeals to the audience because as it's target audience is teens and young adults, the eye catching design makes them want to buy it, as they care more about the music rather than the cover. But as the design is so youthful, it will make people see it on the self and want to buy it. Also, the bright colours may connote the sound of the music, as the Ting Tings have a particular individual vibrant sounding music, this is portrayed well by the album cover.


This album cover is also brightly coloured and vibrant, a reccuring theme in young audiences CD covers. This is particulary effective as the hand drawn cartoon images are clearly for the younger audience, as cartoons connote youth. This represents young and fun music, rather than album covers that use black and grey themes, which connote darker music, like Heavy Metal. For example:




This is also for a younger audience. But is completly different to the other covers i have chosen. Both the covers fit into the Indie Rock genre of my magazine. As the top to examples are more indie, and the 3rd is definatly more rock. 2 of the most popular genres with young poeple, combined. Which is a hybrid creating more readers.
