Album Covers

This is an iconic album cover for Blur, within the cover you are able to see the four artist within the band. The four artist are on the cover to show people what they look like, by doing this people then can associate their music with their faces. This album can link to the Iconography of the album cover article as it states that certain covers can inspire other people. This is a good example as this can be a reference to Queen Hot Space album.

This is an iconic cover, the name visual within the cover match the name of the single. The name of the song is called ‘5 years time’ covering the cover is a number 5 with different coloured shapes in it.  Within the lyric there is reference to sun shine; this can be seen through the background of the colour which is yellow. I believe that even though the cover is simple it is easily memorable

This album cover is a good example of how simple ideas can become effective. As you are able to see in this cover you are able to see all the members of Queen. From the image you are able to learn that from the four members the lead singer is the person at the bottom. You are able to tell this because he is doing more than the other members within the shot. The images of them are used so people are able to familiarise themselves of what all the members look like. They have named the album Queen II, the visual link in with the title which is why they have images of themselves.
