Album Cover 2

Album Cover 2: Blink 182 - Greatest Hits

The album is simple. That being it follows a simple colour scheme (or shade scheme as technically no colours are used). By using this simplistic technique, the artist creates more of an impact to the target audience especially when the bands logo is used and placed large and in the centre of the front. The target audience (that being Blink 182 fans) will instantly recognise the logo and thus, be attracted to the album instantly. The album and bands name "greatest hits" has a font that is similar to the bands logo, and this shows the logo (and therefore the band) is central to the entire design scheme of the album and the logo. However, the back does not link too much to the front as the font is different and it contains no logo. It does however, clearly show that this is the artists album by naming it at the top, and the colour scheme is the same (black and grey/white) so in this sense, there is still a distinctive connection. The colour scheme itself relates to the target audience because it pertains to the theme of the music - punk rock. As punk rock is usually dark, gritty music, the black and grey/white colour scheme is recognisable to that music style and therefore, relates to the bands target audience. The contents is organised neatly in a chronological list as the contents clearly needs to show any audience what songs play when. After the contents, comes the technicalities (an order i've found on the majority of albums when researching albums).
