Inspirational Cd Covers


This album cover we have chosen to look at is Tribes. The cover of the album is very simplistic, plain but catchy. Looking at this cover you would assume that their genre of music is very laid back, by their positioning and clothing. But can give you false impressions.

Also in the logo for out band we liked the idea again of staying with greyscale colouring with only a bit of colour. Which is why we chose this cover as inspiration.

We chose to look at this CD cover as well because we liked the contrasting dark and light colours of the pink and the blue.
We also liked the style of font use and the
