This CD cover shows the four band members of The Killers looking directly at the camera in a black and white shot with a beige effect. This really makes the black on the band logo and their figures stand out against the white/beige background which looks like a wall. Creating a contrast between the band members and the rest of the shot. Also 3 of the 4 band members have facial hair this also stands out more due to the fact of the house style and selected colour scheme of the album. The two members in the middle are wearing sunglasses which are also black that creates a contrast with the background again. The photo is very simplistic with what looks like just two layers background and foreground (the band). I also notice that none of them have their instruments with them. This shows that from the album cover people do not look for instruments and that having instruments shown on a cd cover may be deemed insignificant as the main goal for a cd cover is to stand out. This Cd cover continues conventions of having all the band members on the front and having the band name/logo at the top of the cover in a central position.
The back cover continues with the black and white house style with track numbers written in the primary colour red, this again distinguishes the font from the all black background behind the text. The rest of the text is written in a Serif font which creates a respectable representation of the band. The photo is similar to the front cover. A closer shot of the band members against the wall but still in black and white. The bar code is located at the bottom right with text about the companies above. This is in a normal sans serif font and a very plain white bar as a background. The band logo in black is used again down the sleeves of the cover. The back cover similarly like the front is very simplistic. It does not have too much information on it or too many pictures. Simpleness of the cover makes it very effective and helps differentiate the cover from other cd covers.
This is a magazine advertisement poster for Kasabian’s single “shoot the runner”. The most noticeable thing about this poster is the bright colours used in the abstract artwork of the band performing. The black background against the bright colours makes it very eye-catching. The same capital, serif font is used through out apart from the band logo and NME logo. The text is spread out evenly in the centre of the poster which is a convention that most posters in general tend to use. The use of the red text for the quote and rating from NME, contrasts with the black making it very easy to read. Also the quote is small which can be read easily. The band’s bright colours give the representation that they are very lively when they perform. They member situated at the top of the page is posing with his hand pointing like a gun being shot, with a white splatter next to it. This gives the effect that it has been painted and is a piece of art. The copyright details conventionally are positioned at the bottom and is also written in capitals which still brings attention to it, despite its position.
